Has anyone done there own bodylift because ive just put in a 1.6 injected and ive got the body off (hoping to drop the body on over the motor  ) but i was thinking of lifting the body a bit just to have a bit more clearance. Ive been looking at kits you can buy but they seem exspensive for wat you get and wat they do.
Only wanting to lift 1" so if anyone knows about this it would be great

yeah the just cruising kit is good value for money mate. I think you need a minimum of 1inch body lift to clear the 1.6 efi.
