Its going to have the lowering springs fitted, geometry done to fast road setting & im putting her on the rolling road for a health & power check.

But unfortunatly i had to leave her at Hypertech yestarday as 1 of the rear wheel bearings is knack!!!
So that ment i couldnt get the geometry done or put her on the Dyno, but all being well she'll be ready for collection on thursday.

Wee up date.
Well ive had the car on the road a couple of months now & have to say im really pleased with it,this has been the first classic ive owned as my last 2 were newage & i have to say im not disappointed it handles & goes really well.
I have had a couple of teething probs though along the way. ie Split turbo pipe, which has been replaced with a nice new samco 1, Maf sensor also gave up the ghost & ive had a slight whine off the turbo so that is now in the process of being changed also.
These wee probs were to be expected i suppose as it had been off the road & stored in a cold damp shed for over a year while i was doing all the work to her.
But as ever all good things come to an end i think i'll be selling up shortly due to another project.

If i was planning to keep her that may have been the route to take, but i have to think of what i have spent on her so far & a realistic sale price.
Im hoping to sell for around 7.5k which i think is a fare price for all the work that has be done.
