dog its probably not worth getting the glass cut in half as you will need 2 of each window to get the overlap, and would make the doors heavier than nessasary, also the perpex is longer than standard glass so it will fit the channels in the doors.

see if you can get hold of some lexan, its the scratch proof version of perspex

i will send you a template of my windows and there you go!

oh yeah here are a couple of pics of the doors i tried to show the channel that has been cut but its difficult to get!

ta dude!!

Looks VERY simple to do after all!

[andywaller]

yeah im not quite sure how you will be able to do the channel as it has been cut bent and welded when the skin wasnt on.

Why not remove the subframe mounts and fit new ones while the subby is off and your painting.

Looks good. well done

Question;

Is it worth getting non-adjustable Heavy Duty Tie rod arms, to replace the standard arms?

[miniboo]

might aswell get the adjustable ones they aren't much more i dont think

[Dog]

What advantage do the adjustable one have over say standard ones?

Considering now, there is no-one really around here that can setup alinement... I wish there was, as I would of gone the whole hog, and got adjustable everything,...

[Jordie]

well you can adjust it which is the advantage.

If you higher or lower the car this will change where the wheel is positioned.

Adjustable bottom arms will sort the camber, but will pull the wheel forward, adjustable tie bars can counter for this.

You wouldn’t be so kind as to take a closer pick of the bit circled please

As I’m thinking of drilling through and taping them as the stud snapped, but with out taking the subfame off I don’t know…

Which kind of defeats the object of not having to go through the hassle of dropping the stubby and engine out.

cheers,

[Dog]

Well I'll get some pics later....
as I need to go up there...

Just got my Cooper S 7.5" Disks and calapers

Disks are knackered, so might treat myself to some grooved or grooved and drilled disks
