Refitted body today
Well as the title says I have refitted the body today (first time since march) and what a difference it makes opening the bonnet and finding an engine in there 
After we fitted the body there happened to be a couple of crownies in the fridge, so we celebrated.
I will have to remember next time the body is to come off or be refitted that it would be easier if the front wheels are removed.
Another question to the Classic builders is, do your rear springs feel soft?
I know I am a fat bastard but when I stand on the front chin bar the suspension doesnt move but when i stand on the rear bar (behind fuel tank) then the car sits down approx 2 inches.
I know that with the motor in the front then there is alot more weight and therefore compressing the spring further, but with engine in and no weight on the back then the chassis sits dead flat (front and rear coils are wound as low as they will go)
I have 500lb springs rear and 450lb springs front (atleast that is what the markings say)
