Wow - Fantastic work. It doesn't seem all that long ago you got the car. Yours has certainly moved on much quicker than mine in the same amount of time
It does look high at the front - I guess you had the torsion bars off so I would give it a little time to settle and then adjust them to give the ride height you want.
Congratulations on a fab looking Traveller

Nice job from what looks like a basket case. The front and rear look high but that may be due to the small wheels and low profile tyres. I think that the woodwork will keep you busy

Great unique looking car that will certainly turn heads. You must be really proud, how long did it take from start to finish?

Thwe wheels are 15" so not small

Got the car a year ago last week, and didnt touch the torsion bars.....dont know if the previous owner did..was sat without an engine in for quite a while before i got it...will see if it settles then look to lowering it a tad

Hey, hey, looks good. Does need to go lower at the front, but see if it settles first as suggested. What do you think of the wheel colour now ?

Thanks for the comments

Think it looks better in the photos than in real life, but happy with the results.. didnt have the ideal conditions. Will look good as it drive past LOL. Was never going to be a show car, wanted a good daily
Yes Jonathon, wheel colour was a good choice

The badge or the handle
It's what makes our own cars "individual"
