						Suspension work done, and the car is sitting level again, yay!  The rear springs were really bad and simply didn't cope with the addition of all the gear I've added to the car.    Driving home it was...

						Getting the springs, shocks and caster bushes replaced with OME.  The shocks and springs are worn and the caster correction had never been done. 
 
Looking forward to the Barrington tops trip in a...
