That won't be the torque steer Jon, it'll just be the suspension sagging on the drivers side of the car veering  it to the right  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Smudger I had one of those ridiculously tiny steering wheels when I got the car.

Looks OK but not practical at all especially when you have Powaaa!

Been a busy last few weeks so haven't had a lot of time to work on the car but had a good few hours on it today.

Finally fitted my refurbed twisty filler neck…..









Then it was time to refit the painted SEM manifold and intercooler hosing. Fortunately it all lines up.

This is how she currently stands…..
