just to let you guys know my square back just past her mot

just 3 advisory's both wheel bearings need a bit more tightening and a rubber boot on a ball joint and he did say about the head lights told him that new ones where on order

After a lot of work welding and sorting out the electrics and hydraulics pipes and ram's and throwing about £500 in to her she can now be used as a daily drive just need to get that free tax disc

Mine used to be like that then after allot of new bits i raised it up, getting to expensive to keep em low

I think i might raise her up again to be honest, it will just destroy my beam in the end.

Mine was all folded up like a old £10 note, plus it rattled all the time cos the inner bearings were shot.

Even after i replaced everything including all bearings they only lasted a couple of monthes on the Bristol roads

New beam all new bearings etc and a raise of about an inch or so makes all the difference

its still low aswell

and a good couple of inches up at the back and a nice rake later and......

Perfect now for daily driving but still low and cool

yeh its low but have to put a ski peace's to the bottom of the beam ends to stop it from damaging anything but may raise her a little or go out and get 2 more rams for the front at it has a big hydraulic pump so could just fit them instead

but soton not to bad for holes in the rd but could be fun getting in to holton classic on April 5th as it has a very long rd in to the woods and very big pot hole's ( well it did last year )before it get to the show ground but its a cool show and will be the first show for the square
