1st of all gaskets need done , leaking bad from sump gasket , get cylider head done while there (next few weeks)
the rest of this when out me cast..............
respray , pearl white with new rs graphics
is this the original steering wheel or should it be a 3 spoke design one?
cracked dash , prob get it floked , or retrimmed in leather as getting seats done need something done with the jersey sun hitting it all the time
pretty much thats it , in time for rsoc national day.....
not putting fog lights on or bumper black things on (great technical name for it)
AND TAKING THE PADDLE CLUTCH OUT ASAP....

you could source a solid plastic dash for flocking, my stop issues with heat/sun - think they got fitted to basic models?
Looks a pretty clean car to be fair.
see http://www.capitalseating.co.uk/prod...e&rid=61&mid=2
for buying replacement bolster/padds for the seats, they come apart very easily and it makes a huge difference to get new foams in there, capital are very helpful and never had an issue with service.
Have heard of people putting the seat covers in a washing machine while they are off!

before you spend any money on it i'd bust out the screw driver and get poking at the floor, inner cills, outer cills, chassis legs, inner wings, arches etc etc etc
