Nelly 1 Posted May 14, 2012 Very nice Nelly, looking sweet. I had the same prob with my rear springs. Get a thin cutting disc on the angle grinder, it will fit between the spring and the mount. You can cut half the bolt then turn it and cut the other half. I worked for mine. Thanks bangar .... Yeah had it done to me before and hacksawed between the spring and mount.. but remembered what a g1t it was .. so tried something this time ... i am hoping when I remove the spring from the axle its will twist out... can't see the pics here for some reason ? :headscratch: who knows but you are missing some cracking pictures... :rofl: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nelly 1 Posted July 29, 2012 Yup, I know how that one works :( Looking good though mate, nice choice of colour for the engine too ;) :thumbup: Yeah i bet u do... Hopefully I will only do the places that need a bit of welding, until then if I am happy with the engine and running gear then a major bodywork strip down. The engine colour was a bit of a mistake, added to much white but after i had put it on the block didnt look to bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
