Hi all,

I proudly finished the reconstruction of 1978 Auto chassis 853, many thanks to
Bricklink sellers helping to make it happen.

Now I have a doubt. Is it me or the chassis is not balanced between front
and rear ?
It is eye-visible that the front is higher than the rear, double-checked with
a water level. See pictures.

Ca anyone having this set confirm this is the case as I unmounted it several
time but couldn't see any issue. Front steering block if 100% matching instructions

Reason: item not balanced!
