too good to scrap and i did not not need any other parts from her, so i have fixed her up and almost road worthy just needs the gearbox and service the brakes. but going have to sell her to pay the bills. i have rebuilt whole  front end (every thing) and put in a 173 that was reconditioned a few years back.

your castor arms should be able to take the twist out of it
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

good idea but its been bashed up quite severely from the upper spring seat, so much so that cant even get close to a good camber and its mess up the caster too. >:(
