This is now a joy to drive. Had a new ball joint on both sides and mounted the radiator more securely which got rid of the knocking. Just needs tracking as I just did it as best I could by eye, tracking will get done at work this week. It vibrates at high speeds. Felt like the cornering was bad as I couldn't feel anything dramatic happening...then I looked at the speedo and realised it was taking corners at speed without even breaking a sweat.
I fit a K&N cone for bwarps and also made a shield to stop muck swirling up from the road straight onto the filter, it will also guard against splashes. At some point I might make one that encloses the filter a bit more.

There's still a fair few things to do and sort out on this car, but it's definitely heading in the right direction and is great for just enjoying for the rest of the summer. Once the winter comes the next round of fixing and fettling will begin!
Bring on Pugfest.
