resto on my 3 door
starting to strip my 3 door down for a full respray getting rid of a few bad points.
not made my mind up weather to go the distance and paint and powdercoat everything(see how it goes)
hope full having the engine rebuild as well to 350 or 400 not made my mind up yet.
it will only be used as a second summer car now so may go all out on it.

good work, as everyone else says, do the lot at once, if its possible, ive just got deep into another bit of mine, and it was only put back togeather a few months ago, and now its in bits again, id have had it all done by now, if id carried on with it, but i was desperate to drive it, and used it for national day, and thats about it realy, so carry on if you can, and resist the urge to get it done ,just to drive it sooner, it will be so worth the wait,
good luck

deerhunter. had it sit already for a year and a half with to many other toys so don't need to drive it.
seen the pictures of your turbo,pictures look good of the parts all over your room.
little parts come into my home and the missus shouts.
i have a lot of spare parts so i will have them painted up then swap them over.
will post more pics up as soon as i do some more.

it's up to you i can see this from your point of view, i have just put a new engine in mine but when i thought about it i decided i couldn't be arsed with shiny bits as they don't make it go any faster or maybe it's my brain making excuses for me being a fat lazy bastard, and also my fat fingers are not suited to polishing i had a series 1 and my missus polished all chrome etc for me. so really if you can be bothered and can justify it go for it, but for me as long as it goes sideways at any given opportunity and canes scoobies and evos it's all good
