Todays fixing n trying outs

Chopped bits off on front of chassie, mounted front spring higher up in front .
Removed a piece of glued on plastic tubing under rear body n dropped body down as far as it will go, maybe be able to drop front of body another 1mm as seat is now sat on floor no more space under seat

2 pics of how she sits now, they a bit dark but will take some in better lightning tomorrow
