No not yet, but the king and link pins needed rebuilding so the front settings would've been meaningless. I plan to get the car corner weighted and set up accurately once we have them back and installed.

Hey Steve,

Loving the shots of your car at Goodwood, thanks for sharing with us!

Any chance of a higher res version of that one in the pits? I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to see a larger version :)

Cheers

ah, sorry, don't have anything larger as the firewalls at work limit the size unfortanately, unless Steve who took them can post them here?

Lovely-looking car. I'd ask you to post some more pics of it, but maybe that's not such a good idea

Not sure if these are any better? They're linked from photobucket, unsure how to post otherwise.
