few little probs so far: stereo turns off with the ignition and forgets all the stations, small water leak from the cyl head (which ive since told the chap about and he's sending me a new gasket FOC) the boot central locking doesnt work and i have a slow puncture (which isnt that slow at all.. nevermind) and the backbox exhaust rubbers have gone astray
will all be fixed the next time i go to visit my old valver, have all my bits to go in; electric recaro's, half tints (or crystal m3's, undecided probably half tint), boge shocks, better electric window motors (these ones are veeerrrry slooowww) strut braces, all my stereo stuff, and even a tinted interior light thin 90 spec side strips..then get some ats cups, will be lovely and yes, one thousand-eight hundred miles on the engine

i know.. i just havn't had time to do it yet rust will be sorted asap, cant have the window frame rusting through again... still undecided on big/small bumpers though, they're staying until i get roundto lowering it, but. i dunno.. also all my cars that have died had one thing in common (not the driver...) the headunit... so ive decided its cursedand will consiquently not be fitted in new car needs a name though...

been a busy little beaver lol, cant really tell, but its 40mmish lower, and the obvious, big bumpers, recaro's, and the less obvious no red band on grille, colour coded plinth, stereo is now in the centre console where i like it, tinted interior light
,my sub's in (no 6x9's etc though as they're shagged, the standard stuff is better) rear strut brace is in![]() ![]() ![]() 16v lights, chinese door handles and fogs in the post, german plates soon, got the 90 spec arches and sills to go on, gl front lip for the back, full stainless system, door speakers, front strut all to be fitted havnt got round to that also have a corrado dash id like going in, but the clocks i fear could be a pain... i'll be after a rallye front and some ronal ls/ats cup/borbet c's soon... but im a bit poor at present...

Jolfa, do you sleep in your car - those seats are full-on laid back style!
Good effort, will look much better with the 16v half-smoked hella rear lights.
