Westfield visit

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Drove down to the factory this morning to collect my bodywork; at last it'll start looking like a proper car soon.      

While I was waiting in the parts department, I noticed they've got loads of WSCC membership forms everywhere now!

Was there too - saw you loading up. Enjoy!

Thanks, shame I had to rush to get the van back to the hire company; I'd been hoping to take another look at some of the "in - progress" builds.

Still, first trial fit of the bodywork this afternoon, hadn't realised how high the suspension was set till now!

[Blatman]

The suspension shouldn't be "set" at all. Nor should it be done up tightly either....

You'll be amazed at how much it settles when you've added more stuff. Is the engine in yet?

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Nope no engine yet, and nothing set, (or tightened) on the suspension. Was just planning on winding the spring seats down so that it's at roughly the right height, really only to help me line up the bodywork. At the moment the rear wheels have so much air between them and the arches, it makes allignment tricky.

I think I remember mine being that Shiney once

Body alignment shouldn't need the car lowering to it's "final" position. Just follow Steppenwolfs guide. It's almost certainly one of the best out there.

And as I said, once the engine/'box and everything else is in, you'll be amazed at how much the car settles...
