it all got sorted out in the end then Tony?
I know you were having fun and games with the third partys insurance company.

Cheers Steve, yep it got sorted out, took a bloody long time though and master Woods has come through for me again by doing all the work for me, i managed to get a brand new Toyota rear wing from Alan Jones a friend of Paul's from the north east, so im now looking forward to getting my car back again in great shape, been keeping myself busy these last couple of months with just having my seats re-leathered and putting urethane bushes on the whole car plus a 4 wheel track done and 4 new Toyota struts 14 months ago and new Eagle F1's on each corner, boy this new set up really makes the world of difference its one of the best things ive done totally transforms the handling of the car IMO, Jinxy

I must get a full four wheel alignment job done on mine. I have had the tracking done front and rear, but never had the camber and castor checked properly. On my to do list. Glad to hear its all going right for you for once
