Here is another one from one of our club members. He has just finished a
body off restoration on his 1500 Spit. Everything was overhauled, running
gear, chassis and a full body re-build. When the time came to place the
body back on the chassis, the finishe car had a very odd stature. The front
of the car seems to be sitting very high (according to him, I have not seen
it). He claims he can fit a closed fist between the top of the tyre and the
bonnet wheel arch, in turn, at the back there is only an inch or two
clearance (about normal I guess). Before everyone suggests the coil
springs, these are the original ones replaced and the same goes for the
rear leafspring. Anyone come accross this one
