its been a while but i finally have some updates, rear quater, door,bumpers, bonnet and de-locked/de-wipered tailgate all sprayed. had full refurb on the comps along with new toyos. car was due to be m.o.t'd this week but thought it had a smokey turbo as was smoking but turnes out to be bottom end so after realising this i seat about whipping the engine out, 25 mins later i was down to a block in the engine bay which will be taken out today and pic up the new one.

will get more pics up later today to show how i get on but got a core plug to do behind mates turbo and suspension swap before i can touch this lol
