Yeah lol. Its going to be a bit nuts. Have to admit the ride height is not too bad. comes out at 16cm (6.3inches) using dummy shocks 330mm all around. Have to thank Saturn for the bits that arived today as without them all the bits would still be in box's lol
Ohh good thinking andy i will take a look tomorrow and see if thats the issue.

Does look good,Nice one

I shortened the dummy shocks I had on my chassis this afternoon,the change in camber was fairly large,may be better sorting the toe in problem when the suspension is set up with proper shocks.

Indeed because the hubs are at an angle can just stagger slim washers to get it back to normal. But anyhow! Still fantastic to get the thing rolling. Found a new 2.4 quick rack on locostbuilders along with clamps for £100 so getting them, just need extention and the tie rod ends and will have the wheels locked together. Then will be the large amount of fun getting the steering past the engine and getting seats in to get the steering wheel in the right place.... humm should do wheel first i guess then work back to the rack.
