I got lucky admittedly I had money tied up in 2 other cars and shed loads of old holden and mini parts that i sold  to fund a new engine, its hard having project cars that you can't put any paycheck money into due to raising a young family/bills/daily bullshit

 

the race aint over till its driveable!

Good job, ride height looks near perfect to me.. maybe could be half an inch lower in the back tho still

 

I agree with you there needs that half an inch hopefully after it settles it may drop a teeny weeny bit more

nice indeed.

 

does it drive better?

Can't say just yet havent driven it since before box says up to 20% more stiffnes so I Imangine it will time will tell once I get around to finishing the front door rubbers/bailey channels

Sorry for late reply (busy)

 

Wof man pinged me on two spots of rust the size of a 20cent piece. 

 

first being on the left front door slightly pitted you could say.  within 150mm of the door latch mechanism ( Apparantly thats a bit of a no-no. Maybe either Cletus or Alltorque could verify this)

 

second being the very corner of where the C pillar meets the rest of the body

 

where I have circled
