Thanks for all the comments
Quite a bit has happened since, I just haven't updated it. The car is taxed and gets driven every weekend as long as its sunny. I am shocked at how reliable it is. Took it for a 50 mile drive the other weekend, got stuck in traffic for 30 mins in 30c heat and the car did not over heat or cut out. It just chugged along happily. I'm over the moon with it.
The suspension needed replacing due to age, I have a set of bilstin shocks on the rear and just purchased some front coilovers
Saw this sticker on ebay and just needed to have it
Got some rs steel wheels which I have just finished painting
but also won these on ebay for £40 so not sure what I will do with these yet
