hi all

[Frodee]

i'll do that myself fred. i've always set up my own cars and they drive good and don't wear tyres unevenly so i'm happy with that.

I was thinking about buying one of those portable alignment set ups. Not to expensive and I agree I've had better luck doing it myself.

a lot of 'shops' doing alignment are only used to modern cars not the old ones we drive. often it's a case of if you want a job done properly then do it yourself. as a bonus you save money too.

today was a good day for me. dawn called to tell me the schumacker tri y headers i bought from dave billadeau had arrived and i collected the engine and box too

I'm using the car for work this week before I pull the engine and 'box. It drives so much better with the ball joints done (as it should). Strangely, even though I wound the torsion bars down 3/4 turn it sits about the same height now as before. There must've been more play in the old joints than it felt like.
