Told you my camera phone was dodgy..... !!!

Here's a pic before the lift :

One just after the lift :

The one from today is still unlevel, still need to raise the front another 1". I drove it around today, to let everything settle before final fettling. :wink:. And don't forget the springs have got to sag a little before everything settles as it should do.

Coco broke down on the M6 north bound after the meet - turned out to be an electircal problem, thought to be related to the dual battery.

Dave took a phone call a little later from Coco to say that he was back on the road following a visit from AA/RAC/WHY who diagonosed a charging fault - a tweak of the alternator connections got him on his way again.

'twas a good meet, with 10½ Fronteras.
