Default drifting left?!!??!

hi ppl

had my 97 turbo for bout 6 months now and noticed it keeps drifting to the left, just had the mot done and guy said it has had new sub structure and frame work on front passenger side. just had new discs and pads done all round and tracking checked. but it still drifts to the left.
only thing i know of now is new tyres at front, but that not done yet
does anyone know any causes of this other than those already looked into, any help would be appreciated, as garage wasnt much help!!!!

cheers bigmiller!

Worn tyres? Tyre pressures, wheels need balancing or tracking corrected?

Has the car been lowered with coilovers? If so, ensure it's not leaning down on one side.. Might just be the road camber.

Another possibility is a caliper binding on, or poorly ajusted handbrake.
