Got an old discovery now.
Not had any time to do anything today but i did get my profiles fetched for the front mounts
2 of these bad boys in 20mm plate!
The steering assembely will stay in place. im going to lock the rack in place, but not permanent.... i have a plan
i am going to impliment the traction control into the build now, as i think im gonna need it. i plan on buying a couple of Volvo hubs welding the threads up, then ill get our other shop to re-drill and re-tap the saxo pcd int them.
as for struts i think im going to use the originals but with lower springs.
Fantastic project, best of luck!
