Not posted for a while but time to update.
Firstly as some are aware, I had the delorean europe radius bushes fail on me. I would advise anyone who have these to check them. This is what I pulled from my car...

These have now been swapped for NOS ones which Ive been told hold up rather well. Ive also opted for the Inconel bolts too. Rear end feels much more stable now.
I now have everything I need to start work on the front suspension area.
- Lowered springs
- Ali LCAs with british LBJs
- LCA support brackets
-
shocks
- Poly bushes for the sway bar
- British upper ball joints
- Hub bearings
- NOS upper control bushes
Basically the works.
I also have por15 grey paint and prep to touch up a few little areas here and there.
- Kinda feel like a parts shop

Theres a few extra things in that picture like handbrake cables and CV boot kit. Ive developed a tapping noise which gets quicker the faster I go. Miles reckons it may be gunk in my CV joints which could be right as they are pretty messy.
One of the coolant pipes has a crack in it so will be replacing that.
New rocker cover gaskets as I have a leak on the drivers side.
So yeah, I have some work ahead of me. The car is on SORN currently, mainly because my road tax ended 28th Feb and rather than bother with the hassle of taxing it and then waiting around for a refund when I can apply for tax exemption in april, its easier to SORN and get some work done at the same time.
Arran is currently living it large...

The headliners are now back in the car finally and I opted for green interior dome lights. I may add footwell lighting at some point but wont be soon...
