Now we getting closer................

So I start to pack up this thing.

Me like.

Then choose the car and 10 minutes later I have add 40 hp's.

Then I find some more nice stuff.

So I put it at the lift and locate the leaf spring and what did I see? It's at the wrong
side so I have to do something about it.

So I start to work.

Here we go.

It's nice with fresh things to work with.

So now the leaf springs only sitting at the front.

And here it comes at the bottom of the axle.

The adjustable back plates.

Here is the things together.

A set of shock absorbers in place.

And the painted bumper in place too.

So now I'm finish with the rear.

… more easily load and unload the rear? J I have been following the Cady transformation with interest and it is looking (and I assume handling) great. Thanks for taking us along on the ride, Jocke. Andrew

...here in the USA. Supercharger kit, Denso iridium spark plugs, and K&N Air Filter, and the horsepower/tuneup computer unit. I simply put the iridium plugs and the K&N filter in my '99 Solara (a Camry with 2 doors), nothing else, and I've picked ...

Never saw a single-leaf spring before - cute ....

I have to deal with a few leaves more (lower): Doesn't the modified suspension compromise the load capability (in theory)? Regards, Marcus...  

There use to be one leaf on sport truck's :-))).................
