Well thanks for the kind comments guys.
im actually in the process of down scalling it,ie-swapping the tints back to standard,may swap the rear springs for some which sit a bit higher,already swapped all the lights to standard.
See my logic is,i REALLY want a 6 pot,but right now it is just out of the question as i have another kid on the way in about 2 months and am about to sign 25 years away on a mortgage in the next week or so so swapping cars right know is difficult,plus im making regular 500 mile round trips to Sussex and in this its pretty good but a 6 pot its going to be stupid money every time
so i figured if i change a few things on this then it will be like a different car untill i can afford to change!

Took the inlet manifold off today to replace the leaking fuel pipe.
Gave it a couple of licks of Black and lacquer while it was off,also whipped out the injectors for a quick clean up,replaced both the small fuel pipes,cleaned out all the ports,removed the TB sandwich plate and refitted it all back with new manifold gasket!
Took it for a blast up the road and noticably smoother and better to drive,TOP DAY!
and a couple of pics of my new interior!
Its in top class condition with exception of split/worn bolster on the drivers seat(soon to be sorted).
Barely any cracks on any of the leather and mint door panels to match.
Wasnt fitted with rear headrests but managed to get some of these from another Zoner,just waiting to be fitted!
And the cost of this fine interior?
Right now it stands me about £30 but hopefully this will soon drop to well below £0 and hopefully land me some profit at the end(still got the donor 325SE to sell yet:D)
To say im happy right now is an understatement
Edit;Forgot,also got some new number plates,nothing flash but stps the stares from old bill!

Looks hot mate! Need to clean and polish mine. Hmmmm, wonder what hartges would look like on mine.
Love the engine. Gonna paint mine in the summer methinks.
btw, how did you clean the injectors? Use carb cleaner?

Looks nice dude, just spotted something you might like on someone's breaker. The leather handbrake gaitor, it seems to be in the right colour

Zayyan-Wheels are 16`s,dont know their true value though?
Jhonno-No plates were a quick fix really,was about to order a set of German ones,but still cant make my mind up on them,might get them made with no side `D` on them,basically plain pressed alloy!

No lights are on in that pic,got 100 watt blue bulbs in there,when the sun catches it they reflects loads!
Some new pics of my interior!
Fitted the leather from a breaker,then fitted the rear headrest kit.
Also got the boot liner panel off Jerran,looks much better than the old one i had before.
Also fitted leather handbrake gaitor and handle!
What do you think?
All in the interior,including boot panel and leather add ons cost me about £70
Bargain me thinks
Also Maguirewd it last week-came up really nice although it doesnt really show that well in the pic
