This is the total cost of what it cost me to the spec it went too. It can be done alot cheaper (depending on what you want) and if you fit it all yourself. Thank you all for watching, hope you've enjoyed this mini series 😊

I think the rear ARB isn't installed properly, it sits too low. There's a L shaped bracket there where it clamps to the shock absorber bolt that is put upside down and it makes it sit too low

Quite possibly mate, I know they sit low but maybe it’s abit too low eh. I haven’t got the car anymore unfortunately, I moved out to Australia, but I’ll try and get hold of the guy so he can check 👍🏻

Shoutout spooner restorations lol reason he went out of business, shocking quality on the rocker covers. Mine was flaking and peeling after less than 500 miles and about 6 months, same happened to loads of mates and he was a knob about his warranty jobs. Said he couldn’t keep up with them and then guess that’s why he shut up shop Wrinkle red is probably not as bad but even I can do that and it comes out perfect with the normal canned stuff you get

@@GEARED_MrLucas Not saying you're lying. Saying they've overcharged you somehow mate. Completely understand there's a some fabrication work, but it's a relatively simple engine swap (fwd 2.0L engine into fwd 2.0L engine bay) and they're a shop that specialises in custom swaps fabrication. You can whip an F4R out in 3 hours if you know what you're doing. Lets say a day in welding & then painting.. Then a day in re-fitting the engine and connecting the harnesses up. That's 2.5 days. Lets be generous and give them a day fault finding and trouble shooting. So around 30 hours. Where's the other 15 hours = £1200? Genuinely intrigued!
