V8 00USH is on a distinguished road
New Suspension

So whilst waiting for my ultrasonic tank to clean up all my parts ready for the re-assembly of the chain guide job I decided to fit all my new shocks that I'd bought about 18 months ago that I kept forgetting I had.



I had purchased new Bilstein shocks together with Eibach lowering springs, fresh Sachs bump stops, covers, top mounts & Febi bearings for the front end and new Sachs shocks, bump stops, boots and top mounts for the rears.

Assembled all the struts..

I know it's 'only' an old X5 but I couldn't help but protect my new springs..






Sand blasted the brackets, bolts and nuts and gave them a quick paint in satin black and then fitted everything.







Then had a test fit of my new 22" LeMans alloys that I need to either refurb myself or get powdercoated



Looking forward to getting it back on the road again now.
