some of the JDM 910 wagons had coil sprung rear.

i wonder how hard it would be to fab in some different mounts to get rid of all of this leaf sprung nonsense.

though if you were going to all that hassle you might as well convert it to independent rear.

if i were to keep it as a decent project, i would put in an IRS rear end into it. but as a daily, some reset leaves will do. have some low kings for the front and andy has some shortened shocks as well

well after half a days work on the old girl, im happy with the end results for once after a shitty time trying to weld the exhaust in a cunt of a position, it is finally stopped leaking. the weld looks like shit, but it doesnt make a shit noise anymore. also lowered the front using some "lowered" springs i had. im very happy with the results

Looking good boss

wheel gap has gone from 4x4 with lift kit to just 4x4

I have same problem....

[dirtyleppa]

thanx dude, its at a level im pretty happy with. maybe half to an inch lower in the back, then it will be perfect. it really does need adjustable coils in the front but it will do for now.

future plans are for just a tidy up, and doing all the small niggly bits, mainly ball joints, tie rod ends and nolathane throughout. oh, and get rid of the shitty exhaust and fit some extractors with some larger diameter pipe to the old girl

give me a yell if ya ever need a hand, i have got reasonably good at cutting and fitting exhaust tube , would not be hard to knock up an exhaust with a couple of U bends and some straight pipe in an arvo.
