I bought them from the states. I think you can buy them off some places here in Aus but they are pricey. And i think it was a little over $500 sent

it's really only a little bit more than buying a set of new rubber cones $100 each.... "they" say those springs are not real good on the road, but no-one has first hand experience - of course with your bouncy bouncy it's not the same deal anyway!

In my opinion the springs have to be better than the 40 year old rubbers. And yeah for a 100 bucks a pop for the rubbers, jam that. Not the mention they arnt as wide and fit in a little easier.. I could not get in the rubbers without removing the top suspension arm, and to take that out the motor has to come out :roll:

Hi, do you need to alter your bodykit in order to get it fit perfect with bolt on?
Becuase I just received a set of zeemax yesterday and trying to trial fit onto my morris round nose, but I can't get the front wheel arch and rear bar sit flash to the body. Therefore all the pieces can't joint aren't meet each other.

the rear arch can be sit flash to the body but the actual car body wheel arch will about 4cm if you look from the bottom up.
So I really don't get it why.

Would you please give me an guidance, if possible you can take some pics to let me see how you do.

Thank you

Regards,
Benny

Benny, mine didnt fit too bad. But saying that it does require a little be it modifing to fit it. The obvious standard mod it the external hinges, that and the guards on my van required cutting cause you could see the pannels under the flairs. Ill send you an email of mine sorta trial fitted

Hi Gordo/Benny,

The kit I recieved from Zeemax was pure shite!!

It was poorly made, poorly finished and a terrible fit.

For the money I paid, I was better off to go to a mould-maker here in Oz and own the moulds myself.

Another lesson learnt!

Gordo, can you send your pics to me as well?

Cheers,
Tricky

Thanks Gordo

It's exactly how it come across to me now. I thought is my car body's problem, referred to what zeemax mentioned of their products aren't like other replica require mod here n there.

the quality is alright but the shape to match with the body is absolutely shocking man.

If you can send me some shots of where I need to cut or bogs etc....the worst thing is the front/rear fender panel under the flares :cry:

I'm not sure whether the length of each peices require to cut or not.
please give me an guidance if possible


Thank you

cheers

Ahh finally a little more progress...
The exhaust was done last week in 3" mild steel, with a stainless highflow cat and a stainless cannon and a flex joint. Now when i went in to the exhaust shop to get a price for the exhaust i wanted the whole thing in stainless stell from the dump pipe back. And this is what i got when i turned up to pay for it......
Needless to say i was not happy at all! So because it was only around the corner from my house i pushed it home and mulled it over for the night. I could not put myself through going with the mild steel pipe. So i pushed it back and told them to make the whole thing out of stainless, but ths time from the flex joint back. So the dump and the manifold are all going to be ceramic coated and should be finshed by the end of the week. Here are some pics of the exhaust in mild steel which has now been taken of to be fixed to the way i want it
