icon man

l do hope you are using those panels with the signs on the outside,
the paint code for the halfords orange is RAL 2003, although l can probally find you a litre to paint the bonnet

will look really cool in orange, and you can oddjob for the RAC as well ;)

Andy,

Any ideas what shocks/ spring that were on the blitz, what do you think would do from a scrapyard?, yes going with the icons then If they get damaged sometime I can peel them off to the black base, ;)

are you talking about the front or rear for the shocks.springs ?
if its the rear then l have some mgf shocks you can have, and will the rubber donuts in the subframe you have now swap over into this subframe, that would sort the back ?
l dont really know what they use at the front as l have never had a freestyle but l would guess its a mini rear shock absorber with a coil spring off a ?????? slipped over it

Don't think anyone knows what the front springs come from, I believe they are 90Lbs ones that as Andy says goes over the rear shock.

Sorry It was the rears I was on about to fit on the mounts on the arms or what ever there called on the wide track. Still got to sort top mounts out to go on the rear stays, so was asking what would do, but the mgf will do lovely Andy thanks.
It's got shocks on the front already, so will run them to see what there like
