A few quick questions

Well as I am rebuilding my zuk a bit I put in the LWB springs, so just wondering will I need to get a rear drive-shaft spacer in? If so, how big? and what should it be made of?

Next is: Does anyone have some VL shocks or something similar lying around that I could get?

Where is the best place to get paint? Need it for the body, interior and engine bay.

cheers
Lincoln

re paint: i use 'car colours' in albany. not cheap, but they are VERY good at matching and great for advice. take the colour code and something (petrol cap) for them to match off.

you only need a drive shaft spacer if you put in the longer shock and you will need an arm spacer too plenty of guys on trademe flicking them off

I got VL shocks on trademe for ~100. Bits4Vits sell the drive shaft spacer and heim joint spacers as do low range off road. Low range sell shocks in travel increments of .5 inch. They are $200 USD including shipping.
