This is it:
The suspension is a little too low for my liking, so am putting on some original shocks with 40mm springs. Then putting on some Ronal Turbos I've just bought.
There's a spot of rust at the jacking point on the passenger side (but it's an easy fix and underneath is immaculate apart from that!). Bit of rust to tackle on the driver's door and tiny amount that needs nipping in the bud at the front windscreen seal, then it's done!
Are there any other meets in Bristol coming soon? the South West page says there's not one until November, and would be good to meet up with other owners.

my plans are just to clean it up, get all the smoothing finished and then paint it..
just satin black for now..
get it nice and low, sort out the inside, clean it up.. nothing crazy just get it looking good.

looks cool, how low is yours?

Not sure exactly, but it's too low. Scrapes on speed bumps and am worried it will eventually take the sump out, so got to change it soon.
Black will be great. I originally wanted to get one in black, but fell for this one and it's far better in white than I thought it would be.
