Re Wheel alignment... I have got the first of our sprints on the road and running (beautifully) but... front end.... camber is sitting at -3.2 on one side and -2.5 on the other... does this indicate damage? Any suggestions... I kno Sprints all had neg camber but this much... and is it adjustable... it does not look like it?

The 33 based sprints had about -2 camber, if I recall. Suds had less, about -1

Camber is not adjustable standard/from the factory - you can correct it with camber kits (or spacers/shims on top of the struts). Search away. If it's outta whack then there's something wrong. First thing i'd look for are cracks or stress lines on the inside wings, chassis rails and strut towers. This is what killed mine. (88QV). There are kits that you can fit to strengthen this area (search is your freind here again)

Hello 105&Sprintluvr,

I may be able to help out as we currently have in the paddock 2 suds & 1 33 for parts, and these help to keep my Sud, our shared dirt Sud and my older kid's 33 Quattro running. We've also just been given a Sprint, although I understand that it's in reasonable nick, so probably won't part it out (haven't seen it yet, but the partner says it's quite good). I'm sure there's other alfabb'ers out there with stuff, too. Some of our less required parts are on ebay at present.
Get a list together and we can have a look for you.
Cheers.
