Get a solid shelled 1.3 - rust is a killer.

Best is a flat colour, red for example as you can get add ons sprayed cheaper or by yourself with a little confidence.

I would save up and buy the following

second hand Lowering kit, alloys, and exhaust back box, fit that all and t-cut and polish the shit out of the paint

Then if you have some budget left, get some XR3i bumpers and possibly some recoaro front seat - will feel like your doing a million miles an hour sitting still. If the bumpers need a spray over, get some tips and have a go yourself, a flat colour isn't to hard to get a good finish.

Best advice, keep taking picutres and post a thread up in the resto section. The let people know what you are after and what cash you have, people will help you out.

In my opinion a really clean smooth lines slammed pop plus has as much respect as a turbo!

when your young people know you can't afford a turbo, but if you have made a tastful job of what you have then your due some credit.
