New bottom ball joints fitted to the newly painted wishbones which should tighten things up so what
And we have also fashioned a new towing eye from a old trailer strap as Funbob forgot he was towing me and went for a gap at a junction and tore the fecker clean off  , saved me a few squid

Those dampers look a bit flash (& the dual springs).
Have you considered moving the battery inside the car ? I moved the Nova's battery into a Fibreglass battery box mounted on the floor behind driver's seat - lower and more central than a standard under bonnet position. I am conviced it helped the handling.
Does Pendragon use the Army ranges at Warcop ? If it does, be carefull of the tank sized ditches beside the road - saw a massive accident there once when a Corolla slid wide & put his back wheel into a ditch at 70mph ish

Thanks for the heads up Dave though I dont do 'accidents' 
The suspension is some pretty sexy sh*t for want of a better term it was origianlly made by a comapny called Dynamics who do alot of circuit stuff and a couple of F1 teams I have receipts to the tune of 3k for it 
THere is a thread on the Williams forum at the minute actually about re-siting the battery which I have sent to Wobs as I dont know my arse from my elbow

this is not strictly true slippy mate your not that and i'm not to sure about moving the battery as there is so many problems that you will have to over come i think like the cost of the cable i got one for my mini going back about 13 to 14 year ago and it cost me nearky 50 notes and that was just for the cable no ends or anything

its all part of the SDMC psychological training schedule.
To finish you must first think you will finish
and prove all the b***ards on the forum wrong.
A young chinese girl I was "spending" the night with once told me that....about 30 seconds before she stole my wallet and fags and ran out of my hotel room.

My positive cable cost about £15 with a proper terminal end to fit onto the master switch on the dashboard & the battery box was about £30 brand new, so it was quite a cost effective mod (my time to fit it comes free as always).
As you will expect, when you live in Yorkshire you don't part with cash very easily.
