It is crooked. Check most of the old cars, and even the likes of the Conti - the steering seems to be slightly tilted to the right. | |

You know..... The car was given a full polish job etc... Then somebody saw this minor glitch in the bumper and it was being corrected while I took the pic. Ofcourse, those set of pics are not going to come in this thread na!  | |

| Steer- Just a thought.... Have you considered with the conti engine's additional weight and power 88bhp (carbureted version) to the stock 30-35 bhp, the original 5.00 15 cross ply's may be inadequate? Would be further compounded with the addition of disc brakes in front, Amby's and Landy's tend to under steer. Also, the front torsion bar suspension may not be able to cope with the additional engine weight, they are 3/4 inch steel bars and are pretty soft from a suspension point of view. |
