Dont forget to trim your front bumper or front wheels will probably rip it off under full spring compression on hard cornering.

You've got some skills. Looking good. I'd of had none, or less decals on the front fogs, less being more, but you're doing a grand job.

Cheers guys, your comments have just lifted my spirits a little, got fed up of it this afternoon but more or less all back together now and even put the number plates on. Took it for a little spin too, sounded good but wasn't impressed with the ride on the hks coilovers, so they may have to be binned and some money spent on a new not second hand set, anyway as I said thanks for the comments guys it makes all the hard work seem worth it.

Drew!

Some piccies all back together...

I just read through this from the start and I have to say, very nice work. I do like to see cars brought to their former glory.

Are you thinking of getting side skirts to match the height of the bumper?

Took some nicer pics and hopefully sorted out why the suspension didn't feel right, front links were not tight! Whoops!...

Right peeps, looks like i may be selling due to having too many toys and the imminent arrival of a baby meaning the car has and will simply just not get used.

Since last updates, had new APEXI ECU fitted and mapped by Andrew Carr plus a brand new paddle clutch fitted along with other various finishing bits and peices.

If anyone is genuinely interested, PM me for contact details.

Drew
