nice fab work!

did you raise the rear subframe? if not might have been an idea to bring it up a tad to raise the roll center without raising the car

It that countersunk bolt one of the extra? That should be threaded for a bolt already?

I have looked at the bottom bolts last time it was at APT, it looks pretty easy tbh when I can be bothered

Ah fair play!

Whats the finished date? Or is it moving backwards as you decide to do more!

Bollocks, sorry about that mate. I wonder if Disco Toms plate was threaded

So very much an "in progress" and "it will be finished when its finished" kind of project.....
Dont know if I would have that much patience! The urge to drive it on track must be killing you!
