Plans:​
  • DeBadge the rear
  • Lower it enough but be practical.
  • Sort out stereo/speakers (gets very quiet at night)
  • Usual service etc.
  • Phase 2 Headlights
  • Change some Interior pieces to make it a little more modern
  • Fix/Replace a side marker lamp
  • Fix Roofrack strip split
  • Find some suitable wheels
  • Fix Exhaust blow.
  • Fix electric aerial
  • Fix passenger window runner
  • New number plates
The other forums are nothing compared to this one so i'll still be kicking around, and asking mechanical Q's.

Catch you on the roads! :p

Yeah it does have an altitude problem, I'll ask my mate if he'll consider selling his coilovers (when he's home)
Hope it's not a lot. lol you can get a new set for £200 would just need top mounts off of the Phase II version. and he would have to be willing to wait a little while...
