I'd say stop buying so many cars, but you seem to get them sorted really quickly, not like most people (me) who just leave them lying around to rot. :lol:

I thought to tackle "no steering wheel boss for V300"issue..
I got V460 boss from e-bay, Performance 3000, for £30, 10 minutes later, I have boss to fit Sparco wheel with indicator canceling!!

..it also spaces out from colomn about 6", good for me as I'm over 6 foot..

and stops me knocking on indicators when "giving it beans"!!
alfa is running on 2" twin side exits (R/H, L/H),

Sold Alfa today! While looking to way to lower Escort van rear end, came across place that can de-camber leafs for £40 all in!!
As long as leafs are "off the car" they can do it while You wait!! They can do what ever lowering You want!!
Usually 2 spring leafs can take -2"..
