First very short drive

After just about 2300 days ( very little spare time any more. The car made its first move under its own power..
Was great incentive to get going on it again.

excellent stuff

just a thought though, your suspension and steering arms are at an interesting angle?

yes they should be much straigher. The front of the car is sitting 1.5 inches lower than its suposed to be at the moment but they still both are angled up more than I would like. The hubs are off an 1988 tbird and the lower ball joint is just below the axle hight which would have put my upper arm too high trying to keep them parallel. If the suspension program I used is close everything is suposed to be in the sweet spot keeping my camber where i want it and the bump steer to a bare minimum. If it does not work out then its new arms and hubs after its first year on the road.

So would Brits in the Park at Burlington in September be too much of a push?
