i wasnt aware that they were OEM mats.

I want to change the exhaust for the original as well it has a different system on it at the mo...its nothing stupid and looks fairly standard but would i be better off changing it for a new one?

Ohh thats been loved by someone!
New braided fuel lines
New ISV
New dizzy + leads

I would get some brake cleaner or metal polish and give the manifold a wipe.
New expansion tank
New hard plastic Scuttle pannel with a hard ECU cover aswell!
Stop any rust from spreading anywhere on the legs and bulk head.

:All I would do is find some rubber mats,

Why? When you could have OEM carpet mats?

Just ditched my carpet ones for rubber but yes you have a point. Less than £30 for OEM ones.

Rubber ones fit well with that year.

Yours aren't. I was statting that you could get OEM carpet ones rather than rubber ones though.

the guy i brought it from said that he has built it from the ground up...new oem everything.

And only 72300 miles from new no engine rebuild or anything silly like that, never been welded absolutly no rust. He even sourced 4 new perelli tyres that it came out of the factory on..P3000's i think?

I feel lucky to have found it and im only going to keep it in that condition and yes i am going to clean the manifold a clean this weekend

As for rear box, twin custom stainless or OEM which ever suits your budget!

Ahh i see i thought you meant mine were
I didnt think they were. I want to get all OEM stuff for it but its knowing what is and what isnt lol

knowing my luck i would probably buy mats that say they are OEM when there not really.

[9thwonder]

was thinking twin custom stainless to match the look of the original i think i will be spending my money on this one lol i dont want to do things by half.

Is there anything else that you would recomend that i get ?

[clipperjay]

Well servicable items that get left off are the petrol filter at the back in the housing have fun with that one!
The gear box oil might need changing?
I would check any pipes/VAC pipes for cracks and chaffing and change out as a preventative measures!
But apart from those which he proberly did already if he was anal enough? The car is spot on!
I think the wiring loom has been uprated already can't tell from the picture, but they look in good condition!
Looks like a new fan and shroud has been put on but low miles it could be original items?
The scuttle pannel definity get rid of the flimsy plastic one that breaks and becomes britttle over time.
A OEM hard plastic will cost you about £100 odd with the ECU cover next to it! Function stops water from collecting in the firewall!   
  just realised you live in bag shot I'm off Junc 6!
