I'll order on your site

I'll PM you now mate, sorry - I'm in NYC and my Internet connection is quite sporadic.

I've now ordered the full kit from Mat and got an excellent deal with £113 off. It will mean that I'll have 2 lower arms, but with that saving its like getting them free! Yesterday I treated the rusty surfaces with Aquasteel and what an impressive difference - all the rusty areas have turned blue/black and the rear underneath looks good for a top coat of hammerite. Once I get the upper arms on I will post pictures. A few pictures of the work in progress will be supplied too! Get ready for the BIG ONE!!!!

Start spraying all those nuts and bolts with plus gas Rob.

If they are finished, we do offer an excellent deal on a pack containing both upper arms and both lower arms - and being a member of this excellent forum you get 5% off all orders with us, too.

Good luck!

Shiny new suspension arms arrived today from DMGRS, well within the 3-5 working days, but no fixing bolts as part of t he full kit. I've Pm'd Mat at DMGRS.

Upper suspension arms and all underbody areas, front and back of the car treated with Aquaseal and hammerite. New upper suspension arms now fitted for the trip to Holland in 3 days time. Underneath is as good as its been for many years! I'll try to get some pictures on here this week.
