Here's a couple of my current daily too:

it's been garaged for the winter but is now back out and currently doing 90 miles a day on week days. For this reason its currently up for sale but it looks like works office is moving closer to a train station so hopefully i can keep it and can commute by train in a few months!

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm afraid to say it wont be getting kept completely original (wheres the fun in that haha) but any changes will be period/ oem touches and completely reversable i.e suspension/ bbs rm's/ steering wheel etc

Phew... make sure you do!... Keep everything!

Dont worry, its in good hands

Done plenty of little jobs to it in the passed week and all my suspension parts have turned up so that could be this weekends job

Just some wheels to find now..............

I'm certain this thread will upset a few purists considering how mint and original it's been all it's life.

I'm sure it will, it's not their car though

It's already got koni shocks and springs on it but i want to get it sitting nice on some decent suspension and on rm's/rs's, its hardly sacrilegious

Yes but I bet it won't stop there.

Im afraid it will have to end there so i dont 'ruin' it. Im half hoping the stem seals go so i can get my boss to port and big valve the head with 3 angle seats and a nice cam in it

Stainless overload tonight! Wind deflector arms turned up so set about fitting them. Ended up taking the deflector off and cleaning all the rain gutter out etc no before pics but a few afters:

Rusty standard arms:

Only a small cheap change but I'm so much happier about this area now. Sunroof is allot smoother and silent now when it closes too, winner all round!

These also turned up:

Stainless loveliness:

Cheers for sorting me out Matty, appreciate that! Hopefully get these on at the weekend. Just need a nice set of rm's/rs's to get it up to where I want it to be now. Doesn't seem to be many sets about though

All good to go for fitting them tomorrow, can't wait!

Well, massive thanks to Chris and Phil (coops and big Wilko for being them haha), chris is a suspension fitting machine

Few pics, showing the koni shocks and eibach springs (currently for sale, only covered a couple of thousand miles), the kw's installed and couple of pics with it all fitted:
