Here's a few piccy's of my new ride...

Still needs suspension kit, hopefully sittin about 65mm low front and rear on FK Konisport coilovers or whatever when I can find someone that actually stocks them or isn't clueless on the end of the phone. Car needs respraying very bad! Swirls and fading on the paint is crazy...:( getting the wheels redone in a graphite grey colour. Jus had a brand new head as old one was cracked :mad: and all new valve train (valves ect). I'll update the pics as I mod. Genrally needs a good clean, want to get all the arches super clean and resprayed, engine bay needs a good detail. Interior leather needs recovering and a new carpet. Detailed the car as best I cud so far, but it's far from finished.

Very nice, are you going to track it? Cos... coilovers are a bit harsh for the road aren't they?

Nope jus a crappy respray, car needs a full respray tbh. I jus put a brand new head on it last week and all new internals as the head cracked internally.

yeye thanks for all the comments, tbh the car hasn't had any work other than the head. I've cleaned it alot since I got it. The carpets were nasty, took four hours of hovering, some sandy stuff in it jus kept coming out. I'm getting the rear offside wheel bearing done tomorow at my friends garage. The pictures make the car look cleaner than it is, wheels have some curbing, not from me I note. Underneath she is clean, all wax oiled. Like in my original post most of the work will be cleaning and resealing, want to get the arches and underneath all clean and wax oil off and sprayed, then re-waxoiled. Jus concentrating on gettin my audio in this weekend and the coilovers on order.
