Haven't updated this in a while but there's been some progress, got hold of a set of shocks and 40mm lowering springs (i think they're 40mm) the other week for £50 which i was really happy with, my shocks were shot and knocked all the time so they were well overdue a replacement! Here's how i got them, they were pretty dirty and rusty but generally all in good condition. I stripped them down and gave them a good clean, sand down, and a lick of paint. I couldn't get the rear shock top nuts off so just painted them as they were. And then finally got round to fitting them today, rides a'lot better, obviously a bit stiffer than before and the ride height doesn't seem to be that low but ill give it a week or so to see how much it drops by after its all settled down then ill post a couple more pics of it. Haven't done much else apart from paint the wiper arms, It has however developed a sort of cough/hesitation/missfire when cruising along about 30-40mph, it seems fuel related as the engine just kind of stops for half a second so im guessing either the fuel filters blocked or the fuel pumps on its way out, got a fuel filter at work so going to try that first and see how it goes, anybody else suffered with this?
