ThreePointFive Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I've seen Discos driving around in a less finished/roadworthy state than that. Not quite as shiny or straight though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 They've been putting the time in , that has moved on a whole lot. Is it on the original springs? It looks quite high, although it is still in build so more to add yet. Do you have a first road trip in mind yet? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t used them yet, so can’t personally endorse, but I was recommended this company for flocking… https://www.flockspeed.co.uk/our-services It was a recommendation I’d value and I’ve seen the end results which are very good and price seemed good value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Original front springs and police rear springs from before I bought in 2002/2003. I liked the poise and there was nothing wrong with them, so I had them clean and repaint them rather than replace with new - different brands have different quality, and even good brands have variations, so I prefer to stick with original where condition is good and the results are already proven. Same with the DeCarbon dampers - they wanted to replace them, but I liked their feel and they have long been out of production, so I had them check them all for their condition and rate and they cleaned them up for reuse. They have been on over 20 years too, but are mint. It does look very high, but the interior and glazing is still to be added, so the springs will compress a little, and the lack of bumpers, front spoiler, sill covers and mud flaps do make the bottom very bare and make it look even higher.

steve b Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Agree entirely on the variable quality with replacement springs and dampers . Now you have mentioned the police spec I do remember you mentioning that before. Having built a few RRC's from the chassis up it is surprising just how much mass goes on at the final finish build stage . Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Just the sound insulating mats alone will sag the suspension a good bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
