As purchased so far I've replaced the windscreen after repairing the small holes in the surround. Now with g60 steels and ap coil overs. I've lowered the front another 1" now. next jobs include wings and other minor rust spots. Then a brake upgrade. And then engine and box plus some other stuff.

been fairly busy with work so things are progressing slowly.



uprated the brakes today, had to get a refurbed caliper as one I bought had a siezed bleed nipple which sheared off and took an easyout to the big junkyard in the sky with it! all good now though and a massive braking improvement.
