Cheers guys and Rob I keep meaning to update it but keep forgetting, will make sure I do from now on

Going to get the springs in the next week or two, do we reckon 35mm will be enough?

I love the mica green and had mine for 12 years now and has 60 k on the clock
Despite polished every week my arches are bubbling so would be interested to know what they did and cost involved
Every classic is going at the arches


When it's polished it's looks fantastic and quite rare to see a green classic nowadays

I had my skirts and rear spats and front P1 splitter colour coordinated when I got it and put a nice P1 back box and decat on it

Lovely car mate, got a nice shine to it! The only reason I got this is for the colour, I don't think I've actually ever seen another one in the flesh!

The arches weren't too bad to be honest, but I'm fussy so had them done. They were grinded/sanded back, rust treated and painted, which cost £200. Also bought new rubber arch trims, one from a guy on here and the other side from Subaru which was £36. Cost me about £250 in total, so not too bad really!

Cheers guys

scoob21 - I used GUNK engine degreaser to clean it (£4.99 from Halfrauds) and dressed with Aerospace 303 (£14.99 posted on eBay). Followed a guide that was posted on here.. got the link somewhere. Was a bit worried about using pressure washer on it, but was fine, spent a good half hour making sure all the important bits were fully covered.
