fair enough, in the pic on it's side the shackles look sat at a funky angle so presumed it was a front. I know comps are hard on vehicles.

I'm sure il fix it, stuck on the trailer at the moment I got to get some time to get it into the garage at home, back axle as you drive walks away and then sticks out to far won't fit in the garage !
Il fire some more pics up with it in bits repairing it in a weeks time or so

New springs arrived finally, I'm going to fit the two rears just for now and keep the other two for spares I think. Kind of gutted I broke up the calming 5 inch lift springs I had could have used the top leaf to repair the broken old man emu one.

I'm thinking about a 3 inch drop arm for the steering box, had steering issue for years lol but I think it's because there's so much lift when the axles drops away the steering can't recall far enough. Can get them frommlow range for a good price now. I think it's worth doing.

busy building a Toyota soarer at the moment so not had much time to prep thumper, but the next event has just been cancelled :(
next ones end of November, so lots of time to get him ready for that, but il probably just aim to build the kja resto for now.
