Bit of an update!
Loads done over the past few months. Interior has been stripped, wet vacced and put back together, replacing anything trim thats broken in the mean time.

Wheels swapped for a set of BBS RA's, not in the best of condition but 100% prefer them over the Ronals. Got some new shoes lined up for next month though.... will update if I do get my paws on them

Gave the entire car a thorough clean... all arches cleaned/degreased and they've come up like new.. nice and white.... most of the body work is really good, just needs bumpers painting and ideally the roof needs to be painted as its heavily faded.

Door and wing I brought of Shane have been painted, looks great, just need to take the whole car to the body shop now to have the rest of the bump strips taken off and for them to bond the wing trim on.

Managed to get it idling/running good... old fuel pipe was letting in unnecessary air so changed a load and it seems to be sweet for now. I'm missing an airbox/filter and all the other little bits that go with it tho so think its still sucking in to much air. Would anyone recommend me getting a K&N or sourcing a standard air box? Ideally I would like standard but nobody seems to have one for sale.......

Wound down the coilovers by quite a bit yesterday.. loads better in my eyes.. think the top mounts are knocking slightly so will get them replaced soon.
Other than it's all coming together, MOT next month hopefully.....

Ideally will need a notch to go lower... the exhaust scrapes everywhere as it is though so may have to wait till new wheels arrive.

Updates soon

small update

Got some new wheels, my favourite wheel of all time :-D azev a in 16x7.5. pretty rare size I think so happy I got them.

Dragged it out the garage and had a quick test fit

Pretty happy just need some tweaks, need new tyres so probably going to go for a profile smaller to get it a little bit lower.
20mm spacers will be on order too for the rear to get the back end abit wider

also quick pic of one of the arches (before/after)

Image

fronts have come out a lot cleaner so rears need abit of paint.

overall becoming really happy with this car now, hopefully be on the road within the next few weeks

more updates to come
cheers :pilot:
