Thanks guys. Just got back in as it was getting a bit cold and there wasn't a great deal more I could do.

I think the handling should be fine, perhaps not as tight as if it had coil overs all round but most of the other front suspension parts have been replaced within the last few months so i'm hoping it will be ok.

Green stripes are a part of the cars character, just a shame that many, me included when I was 19 took them off and threw them away as was the era of less is more.

I decided against doing any work to the turbo, mainly because I am 99% sure that any attempt by me to crack off the 4 bolts on the exhaust housing would have resulted in 4 snapped bolts. That would have not been cool so instead I jacked up the rear, gave the coil overs a quick spray of lube and jacked the car up an inch although I reckon I may go another couple of cm.



I also gave the back box a little wipe over. Nice to see it all seems pretty rust free chassis wise



How it now sits, still think the rear could be lifted slightly more
