Default Black RS Turbo Project

Evening Gents

New to the site, and just recently purchased a E reg black RS Turbo, which I plan to try and restore to as close to new as poss. It has 98,000 miles on it and the guy was using it as an every day run around! I have had the alloys powder coated and new Goodyear Eagle F1's fitted to the front. It is now at the spray shop away to get a full respray. looking forward to it!!

Any advice or tips are welcome! Cheers!!
