speaking of which spink I don't suppose you have an arial with base and a drivers side door catch mechanism do you?(obv for extra but thinking if you got parts you wouldn't mind selling then could buy at the same time!)

yes got all that

bump....spink kindyly supplied me with a rear sub frame but mine has the anti roll bar on it...which in turn means the rear track rod ends hole centers are no where near and to fit the anti roll bar would mean putting a bolt right through where the track rod ends don't fit lol. am at a loss here really am tempted to sell it for scrap now as was only going to flog it once the mot was on anyway....i didn't really want to maintain it and plough money into it for 6 years to sell for scrap!
