first i removed the buggered ball joints.
i then made the plates i needed to make the wishbones longer
here is the first one finished. all it needs is the holes for the new ball joint but my drill is at the unit.
i have tacked the old ball joints back on so i can get the car back on its wheel.
here it is against the old one.
here they are both finished together
then i cracked on with the steering rack. its been cut and sleaved to make each side 40mm longer so 80mm overall at the front end.
pic of the none lengthered side. 110mm from the start of the thread to a step in the shaft
pic of the lengthered side. 150mm from the start of the thread to a step in the shaft
with both sides done.
between making everything 40mm longer i stripped the subframe down retapped the holes in the body and fitted it back to the car so i can set the locations of the top mounts.
then i reattached the wishbones and the suspension, then popped a wheel on to see how it looks but without the top mount being finished it just looks like it has a massive amount of camber lol

what do you all think so far?

here how it sits now, the drivers side is now 40mm wider than standard. the passengers side still needs the top mount making wider.
sticks out a good 15-20mm of the standard arch.
looks like it fills the frp arch rather well even with the standard wheels on and no weight over the front end.
realy happy with the work ive done, still needs alot of work to finish it off but right now its sat back on the ground and looking good.

It would allow you to adjust camber and caster to get exactly what you want and dial out any inaccuracies when you come to get the front end geometry setup. BY using an additional spacer between the inner wing and this plate you could also adjust the front end ride height very easily without getting shorter springs or using adjustable platform coilovers.

got one of the FRP rear quarters fitted (for now) and it looks good, I've plugged up the petrol cap hole with the remains of the ruined rear quarter that I fixed to put on my car. I haven't put the rear bumper on yet to see how the back lines up yet but it looks good.

only took me about half an hour to fit it, im just pop riveting it in place.
