thanks for the reply, yes she does sit on 19'' wheels.
Since the photo was taken I've removed some crude homemade springs (like old pram springs) that were attacked to the rear axle and chassis, effectively pulling the body down.
I'm still worried about clearance, only time will tell.
The battery I plan to refit to the rear as it does sit under the car at present, the exhausts not a problem as it runs outside the car on the n/s.
Now I,ve check the car over the first major job is to rewire, hopefully it should be on the road properly in the spring.
Many thanks
Paul

If the springs you removed were coils (like bed springs) mounted on aluminium blocks on the axle they were probably "Nobby Spring Assisters" ....They were fitted to my axle and onto the rear floor (no extra support or "load spreading!)
A "period" modification! You may find an old ad on Google ....10/6d  a pair or something!
I took mine off! The mounting blocks were broken anyway!!
