We present new VLA observations of this complex low redshift quasar, which was previously modelled as a precessing twin-jet nucleus. A new 2cm map fails to show the predicted curvature near the nucleus. B and C configuration maps have been obtained, to study the halo of the source. These results suggest that the radio source is not very old, and appears to have undergone two major changes of orientation in its < 107 year history.
