Thought it was about time I got a thread posted here to track the progress I'm making (Or not) with my trusty stead! Given I haven't really got the time to transfer over the entirety of my thread from t'other site I'm going to follow the format of a before/after and post updates from here moving forwards 
I picked up the car as a rough looking un-cared for project around this time last year...
The car hadn't been used very much and over a ten year period many of the mechanical bits had become tired and needed replacing, one thing it did have going for it was rust free and never welded arches and sills...
Over the course of the summer I did a few jobs to bring thisgs up to speed, namely...
* Plugs/HT leads
* Engine oil/filer
* Diff/Gearbox oil
* Air filter
* Battery
* Clutch slave/master cylinders
* Hood replacement/rain rail refurb
* Quilted door cards/OPM door pulls
* Nardi whell
* Replacemnt head unit/UK cubby cover
* New shocks/springs and fast road alignment
* Rota RB wheels (Already had these)
* 40% re-spray and blend in
* Full DIY cavity wax/underseal using Bilthamber products
By the end of the summer things were pretty much where I wanted them and I was happy (ish) with the car...
By that point it was time to put the car away for the winter. Six bloody months waiting is nearly at an end though with 21 days left until I plan to put some tax on and start enjoying her again
