Well after doing 32 hours overtime last month i've now got a new project on the go, no picture's yet till weekend when it's light.
Over the weekend I picked up a 53 plate 5 door SE spec 1.4 petrol 16 valve with manual box for the grand sum of £500.
It's done 115k mile's, MOT tested till end of June 2015, came with lot's of old paper work & it's HPI clear.
I've stuck 6 month's tax on it & then the insurance was £30 to add it on my current policy for a month 
Drive's ok apart from a flat spot at low rev's ( possibly gummed up VVT ) & clutch is heavy.
Done about 80 miles on the way home & water + oil temp's sat at a rock steady 90 deg C.
Load's of silly little job's to do, mainly my time & hunt in my part's collection for bit's.
So far I've done:
Replaced a broken interior roof grab handle.
Replaced MFD bulbs.
Freed of both door lock barrels.
Adjusted tailgate so it shut's correctly.
Replaced broken dipstick.
Replaced missing SP vent knob's on 2 vent's.
Currently waiting on the weekend to come so I can work in the light 
The car was cheap BUT I also know it does need some time & money spending on it to bring it up to standard again.
Ill update thread with picture's over the weekend.

You sure love those apostrophes
Most of them are not required, as plurals don't need apostrophes

Been raining most of the weekend so no pictures yet 
Anyway more jobs done:
Binned the crappy Peugeot locking wheel bolts & fitted some McGards.
Replaced blown cigarette lighter & ashtray bulbs.
Had the Com 2000 unit apart & sorted the wiper stalk out so rear wiper & trip computer now work correctly, just swopped the end unit over - was shocked to find it's the original October 2003 unit
Binned the crappy NGK spark plugs & fitted some new Bosch one's, already runs a hell of a lot better
Replaced a broken breather pipe.
Repaired the non working ultrasonic alarm button.

Forgot to mention I had to buy a special small spark plug socket as the ET3 engine uses smaller then normal spark plugs
If you want to change plugs on a ET3 lump then this is the spark plug socket you will need
