Awesome mate :thumb: Nice to see someone doing things right. It looks like you have a good beater and painter there. I'd hold onto them, too many 'that'll do' men these days.

Are you keeping it 100% std?

Im keeping the car pretty much standard yes,i need to replace the coolant hoses so ive gone for Samco in black,i will decat the exhaust for a little more power and i have a Classic Prodrive b/box to keep the standard look,im keeping all the standard parts in case i ever sell the car

Thanks for all the good comments,i wish i could take all the credit but i owe a lot to my welder Keith and painter Gerald :notworthy
