    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.

    if you mean the standard Volvo TRACs sytem, don't bother its naff. Only works to 25mph (or is it 15mph) & kills the power completely when it cuts in
