Hi Glen

Is there wood on both sides?

Sorry to see that your chassis looks a bit scabby.

Yup both sides exactly the same. Almost as though its got shorter springs and they are spacers?

Weird hey

I have seen extra packing above the spring mounting to even out an uneven chassis, so the body looks level. But the wood there may be an attempt at rasing the ride heigth of the car using it as a spacer as you thought.
Or something similar!
