Thanks everyone! I can't wait for the summer setup either, but I'm pretty pleased with how this came out. Cheers!

Just patched the two rust holes that resulted in my front jack points pushing through the floors. The welder was acting up so we used Lexel sealer and rivets to hold a steel patch. It's not the final solution, but it'll at least get me through winter while I find someone to weld in new steel for good.

Also took the opportunity to swap in my new top mounts for the rear bags. This is what I pulled out:

As a reminder, this is what they originally looked like:

And this is what they were replaced with:

Car's coming along quite nicely. Please let me know if you're interested in getting rid of the Griffins, I've been looking for a set of those for a while! Also, did you have 3 Aeros and a Super Aero on there over the summer?

what's with the front alignment?
is it pic, or does it have positive camber?

Yeah, it's still kinda muffed. Was worse before I added camber bolts. I'm pretty sure it's because the air strut has a larger diameter than the original one, so even though I didn't change the angle of the mounting bolt holes, their centers are further outward. With all the suspension in place, this forces the lower part of the strut inward, adding camber. I'm brainstorming a few different ways to fix it later this year.

What's weirder though is that it seems to even out when it's aired up to drive height. I don't notice any weird camber wear, although an alignment may prove otherwise. We'll have to see.
