That looks like it's going to be absolutely stunning.

Rear lights have polished up well.

Well basically, it been a sh!te few months!! I was hoping to have the car on the road as soon as i got my license back, but lack of a job put those plans to rest.

Anyway, the car is now insured and will be getting tax in the morning.... I feel like a kid at christmas.

Since my last post I have mainly been tying up looses ends and sorting the stereo out.

I ditched the bodge speaker boxes as my mate had some knocking about he wanted to get rid of.

I drilled some 'oles in the connection plates to accept the jack plugs.

Just need to carpet the box and get some decent cables.

Then gave it a good old polish as it was covered in bits of tree and other novelties.

Driving's gunna be weird.

I have now been driving again for almost a month, but tbh have spent more time polishing the damn thing! I fitted a brand new set of coilovers last week as the standard shocks were fubered and it was riding way too high. Whilst underneath I have noticed it had been poly bushed by the last owner.. that's rear subframe, wishbones, anti-rollbar bushes etc. Bargain!
Anyway it drives like a dream, no bangs, rattles and bits falling off

Also did the timing on monday so she is buttery smooth.
Someone did however ding my new paintwork, knew it would happen but not this soon!!

Im going to take some pictures later, hopefully before it rains!!
