Brought her out of hibernation.
Battery charged up.
Started up first time.
Reversed her out of the garage.
Stood back and admired her.
Checked everything ready for the MOT on Saturday and ready for show season.

Passed the MOT yesterday!
Took her out on the first outing of the year to a local show. Got some really nice comments on how she looked.

As one of a series of upgrades and improvements, we tried to fit a pair of Minispares adjustable camber brackets to the rear suspension but none of the holes lined up.
After a lot of cursing, the job was abandoned, we headed home deflated and will try again today.

Yep, been there done that and gave up as well, more crap parts. Mine now has the standard brackets still fitted.

Well, it's done.
Al at Vaudrey Classic Car Solutions has, "with a little jiggery pokery" (his words) has got them fitted.
Initially, the brackets were fitted but the bolt on the underside is (as others have described) half a bolt out.
Alex/Al is a wizard and the most patient mechanic in the world sorted it.
We don't know if the brackets are poorly made or the subframe is an aftermarket item, but the fitting is difficult and needs a full set of facilities (doing it on the ramp made life easier) and a whole lot of patience.
The toe-in and camber are now adjustable - but what a faff.
I hope the pictures help (taken from videos, so please excuse the quality).
