Looks more like a car everyday!
Welcome to my never ending GKD Legend build. The car became road legal in September 2011. The Swedish summers are fantastic but to survive the dark winters I always have a long list of improvements to do. The 1900cc 4 cylinder engine comes from a RHD 1998 BMW 318is M44. It has been upgraded many times over the years with eg. Mini Cooper S Eaton M45 Super Charger taking it from 140 to 220HP. (Parts list Jan 2020)

Front Springs and Dampers
Once the lower wishbones were in place it was onto the real Lego type parts. I found out that it was better to install the upper wishbones before the dampers otherwise it wasn't possible to insert the upper wishbone mounting bolts. For some reason I don't seem to have enough washers to attach the passenger damper but that is easily fixed. The latest version of the kit actually has the springs and dampers already made up as well as the wheel bearings and hubs so a lot of the hard work has been done.
