Lokks like a pretty clean slate, post some more pictures and I'm sure we will have lots of ideas for you
Yeah I think so, from what I’ve seen so far. I was hoping someone might know the car, we shall see.
The gearbox has quite abit of chatter if you aren’t abit higher up the rpms coming out a roundabout or corner, and also some slight whines but I don’t know if the mounts have been changed. I’ll change the oil first. My classic has a 5spd so new to the 6 spd.
Ive spotted a dry coolant leak which looks like from the timing belt area so I’ve got a belt kit and water pump from RCM ready to fit. Hopefully it’s nothing more sinister for now..

Could be harder mounts, or lightened flywheel. Could also just be the linkage vibrating and needs tightening, that's the first to check as can be done from inside the car.
Try posting on the Fb hatch groups, more active over there these days.
But that means going on Faceache

Sound like the issue that I have with mine which is likely to be the main input shaft bearing which I am yet to fix. Worth checking if it makes the noise with the clutch depressed or whether it goes away.
