The body work on your car looks good. Nearly ready for the paint shop?

From the lowest part of the engine cross member its 150mm.
You had me thinking about the upper control arm shafts, I checked this morning and I could not believe I had them the wrong way round. I installed the front suspension years ago when I was reassembling the chassis and forgot all about the offset.
I turned them around today and this brought the front wheels into positive camber. I had to place a 3mm shim on each post which brought them back to 1/4 degree negative and retain the same caster.
Thanks for the tip Bob :thumb:
Offset facing in.
Offset facing out.
