I wouldn't get too hung up on tracking/castor/camber 'issues' Scottie, just get it on the road and see how it feels.

Mine's been on the road for almost two years now and covered about 6,000 miles. I kept the castor angle as it left the factory and put a bit of toe in on the back wheels and a bit of toe out on the fronts (adjusting the back to have a bit less and the front to have a bit more after a couple of test drives) and it handles, steers and stops sweetly. It hasn't even worn the knobbly bits off the tyres yet - these cars are very light and don't put much strain on the tyres. If you had a big, heavy saloon body and the car leaned in corners then the suspension geometry would clearly be critical, but in a low, light rollerskate of a car it doesn't seem to make much difference.

Now get it to the MOT station!
