bring on the end of the month, getting the friday off work so i'll have a 4 day weekend to really crack on with the old gir!

list of things i aim to fit...

coilovers
strut brace
new discs and pads all round
stainless manifold and full stainless exhaust system
5 stud 25mm adaptors
alloys
pressed number plates

bearing in mind i've always had a garage do all the work on my previous cars i'm determined to do all the work myself, should all be fairly simple if i just take my time and be methodical, only thing i'm worried about is the manifold and decat pipe, may have to get a garage to do that as looks like the engine will have to be dropped a bit to get to it 

any tips on fitting any of the stuff mentioned above as i'm going in blind

Drop subframe of to do manifold mate. And jack the car up. Do it while ypur swappin frontsuspension. Should be straight forward from there.

Its 4 bolts, and another 2 on front cross member. Other way is to take front end off and lift the engine out slighly and it should give you the room to clear the subframe. I did mine when I was swapping engines over so I lifted engine out witg engine crane
