Only a little update. I have started to strip the car but with it so low it was proving a pain to get under to even drain the fluids So I purchased a few goodies from cj autos:
Mobile axle stand / lifting beam and mechanics car creeper.

Not much camber left :-)

Well on with the strip down, doors , seats and bumpers next after that the motor is coming out.
Only prob is a couple of cracked ribs following a small accident trying to use a 6x2 timber as a jacking beam has me side lined lol!

that camber adjuster looks a bit nasty. I've been hunting for months for a decent one but they all seem to be sliding nut typres like that. I just don't trust it!

To be fair these are the expensive ones, I found them ok slot better tan the eBay specials

yes they were expensive, not them cheapo jobs you can get.
They used to work well but obviously somethings happened since.

I never paid attention to them apart from doing up one of the fixings as you suggested, sadly it would be the guy who I bought it off...

from an engineering point of view it just looks weak and like it could move too easily...

I got in touch with SPC to find out they stopped making them but still have a few spares which is good so ordering up some new ball joints with the adjusters etc.
They can supply new mounting bushes but going to get one out and look for a super flex equiv.

The are the best i have seen and come with castor adjustment as well which is a bonus just a shame the stopped making them.

strip down still on going, almost at engine box out stage :-)

stripped out all the ABS today. Going from straight master cylinder to front calipers with braided line / splitter but the rear will have a bias control valve in the car to give me some control over the rears!

once the motor is out then the stitch welding begins!
