Burning, or steaming? It shouldn't burn. You didn't find it with the plasters did you?

Looking forward to the pics

Yeah, usual for them to smoke a fair bit on first startup after wrapping - take a look at pushki's guide in the wiki and you'll see

Yeah left it running for a good 20 mins and it went so I'm guessing it just burned off the lil bits of fibre or the grease from my hands when I wrapped it haha.

I need to take some pics with a better camera as mine couldn't really bring out the gold that well, I'm going to have to get loadss more countersunk washers lol, I wana do the whole bay with em haa

I'm going to take the new ht leads I got made back, had it running and they kept popping out the top and the dizzy :S and they clipped in properly too! Not happy lol.

But yeah more and better pics up soon

Try pulling the actual clips (with the lead) through the seals a bit more.

Great news! Coilovers turned up today. Finally almost at the end of the road! Fitted 3 of them today after work so tomorrow the other 1 and the brakes will be fitted. That and a few other lil bits it'll all be done and back on the road by next week

Also my adjustable tow strap turned up, reason I got this (it is legit and won't be cable tied on

) is that the tow hook is at the bottom of the subframe just in front of the engine so is really far back if you need to get to it, especially if it's gana be lowered. So il bolt it to the hook and poke it through as straight as I can through the bumper in case I ever need to be towed

So happy and can't wait for her to be back

and start going to shows lol, so gutted im missing japfest!

Those GAZ's look great! Can't wait to see her lowered back down again

You planning on keeping the Rotas?

Are you going to the national meet?

Excellent stuff, well done!
Those shocks do look

Passivated (Parkerized) steel bodies, rather than alloy by the looks?

^ Dunno why more companies don't do this.

If these were my shocks, I would spray a dry moly lubricant on them. This will help reduce corrosion. Although it's not a pretty spray being a carbon grey colour.
