Glad to hear that you've got her home m8. I take it the engine is all finished and running smoothly then , bar the exhaust of course. Are u sure that the car is pulling to the left under breaking and not just the road surface you were on. It has never done whilst i've had it???

my car use to pull to the left and the tracking was fine, but it was just the lower arm bushes wasnt strong enough so i fitted pollyflex ones and it sorted it


you got and more pictures of the engine and car lol

But the car had powerflex bushes fitted to the lower wishbones with new ball joints about 6 months ago, so can't really see it being those??? But then I have been wrong before lol!

Best bet like Dave says is to get it tracked and work from there really. Shouldn't be too difficult to solve anyways!

UPDATE

Ok yesterday till 9pm the night before fitp i had the car in pieces as i had discovered the drivers brake caliper was siezed on so stripped it all down and managed to free it but its gonna need a recon. So that was that drame dealt with.

Now today i get back from fitp to find my boot had decided it wanted to be a swimming pool. Being as tired as i was i thought sod it i'll sort it whenever, thinking its probably nothing, but about 20 mins later i thought no i can't leave it it'll probably rot away lol (not lol as it turns out).

So had a poke around and realised that the water was coming ib through the area where the 13mm bolt is that holds the bumper in place. Now i knew there was a bit of rot around where the boot catch is and was gonna get it welded as soon as.

So thought i'll drop the bumper off and see the extent of the damage, oh how i wish i hadn't.

Basically at some point someone has fixed some plating over the holes for the bumper bolts which were open at the top and sealed at the bottom so were acting as a pocket, and when they got full the water would run through into the boot. So that was quite easily temporary fixed with some silicone.

However turning my attention to the latch area i almost fell over at what i saw. FILLER !!!!!! OMFG

It has been fillered over at some point and is now what can only be described as a metal sponge with orange bits dropping off here there and everywhere. As you can see in the pictues its quite bad, no sorry very bad. Now i need your advice from someone who knows what they're on about as to what to do with it? See what you think?














The temp repairs






Then to ad insult to injury i found that there was rust well forming under where the arches have been repaired which is seriously not good see:
