car back in the bodyshop again this weekend or next depending on space, having the crease taken out the rear quarter, car got keyed the other day on the otherside quarter -_- so thats getting done, the very front bottom edge of the bonnet has started to peel and rust so im nipping that straight away, and some paint missing from the bottom of the front bumper where its parked on a low kerb with a bush or something. having it lowered soon after the paints been done cant wait to get rid of the masses of body roll and acceleration and breaking got a bad neck its so looose

not 100% sure yet, i got 15" alloys so i might be able to have eibach sportline springs and have enough drop to satisfy the look i want, or i may need coilovers to get it down more still in the process of deciding

Well fair opinion but i notice you have spent alot of money on yours and obviously have a high standard for your car.
- I dont plan on spending massive £ on this car as i will not get anything back.. as i have seen from mattyp old moonstone project and that car looked amazing in my opinion, so its going to be lowered cheaply but safely as the standard boat setup is knackered, soon after that i will not have anything else i want to change - the alloys will most likely return to a grey anthracite colour to come back to near standard
And as expected likely to be sold on eventually, not really much of a project but ive lost interest in the car as the age and interior rattles feels cheap
