Well. It's going and mobile. After my home wheel alignment with string lines. Only problem was the boot light arcing on the rear shelf.

Just need to collect some spaces for the rose joint on the adjustable lower control arms inside the crossmember.
The quick rack is heavier than expected.

Now to replace the rear leaf springs and i have decided to modify the fuel tank to remove the pendulum effect while cornering.
I can't sleep now i finally have a square/straight car again.

The Hood lining will be my last expence. Apart from tyres.

Rodney is receiving new king pins. And have some tyres to buy before the Nostalgias out Willowbank on the 19th of February.
I hope to run the 1/8th mile street series this year aswell.

Just finised my first run in the esky.
Apart from too much negative camber. It went well.
The new accelorator cable has improved acceloration.

DAMM. The quick rack is heavy to use.

It's only been used for do-nuts the last 10 years anyway.
Can't wait for the new hood lining to arrive.

New tyres are on the list, thinking of going back to 13' wheels using formula Ford type tyres?

About to rip the whole rear out and start again.
The drop fuel tank will be half the size and still look standard.
And going away from 4.11 diff gears to 3.54. with smaller diameter 13' tyres.
Anyone want a stainless mesh sheet to suit the Mk2 drop tank?
