bought it from a chap in essex.
1.6 diesel.
got quite a few dents here and there.
needs new seats and door cards.
2 bits of welding.
got some alloys to put on it.
underneath needs a good clean.


so looking for the following if anyone knows of anything going.
seats/door cards
4 x 195 50 15 tyres
momo stg boss.
suspension kit.

would love to find a cheap cheap rs turbo that is rotten with a good engine and box to use as a donor car.

hi mate.
little bit of help if you can.
i've fitted 15 inch wheels and 195 50 15 tyres today.
next thing on my list is to change all susp legs and springs,
i would like to lower it seems there's quite a bit of distance from top of tyre to arch.
there seems loads of springs which are different lowering heights.
i've seen from -20mm to -60mm any ideas ?
