Hi Guys
Thanks for all the comments - I knew I had come to the right place (did I just say that ?

)
DCM - I am using a lot of slime (ooh)
Jimmy thanks for the offer - for the moment I hope I dont need to take you up on that.
I think a modded tool would be a good idea.
I think Matt is most likely right - thats my gut feeling too - i will try again tomorrow, still too mad at the moment
I have built the front end and some of the holes are a bit loose to my mind for the balljoints. The caster blocks are WAYYYY too tight on the hingepins. If I tighten the front brace up the wishbones go tight , etc etc.
I never had any build issues with my Pred and it really puts this Assciated car to shame - did you ever think you would hear someone say that ?
