So the posts above are the updates from when I bought the car on Easter Saturday up until May 11th. The turbos were fitted and without plates could only be tested on a short trip but no smoke and everything seems fine. The plugs/ignitor/pipe replacements have made a big difference in the general performance of the motor. The entire steering system has been replaced (rack and all pipes) bar the pump for rebuilt parts as was 1 CV joint and driveshaft. It made the boat on May 20th and is due in Barcelona on July 2nd, and Heogh shipping are telling me it will be 5 to 7 days from there
I bought one part which didnt arrive so is comming seperatly, I dont know what colour yet but it will be handy for security more than anything else:

And in case any friendly car nabbers come equipped with a Works Bell kit and a spare wheel I got this cool lock too:

Oh and I got some JIC C spanners for the coilovers too.
And thats it for now. I gotta get a long and low 2 tonne jack to reach the diff and make a pair of 4 inch tall ramps ala Powervehicles for handy jacking. Main things on the list are FMIC,cage and Wheels and some track days
My wife wants to go to New York in October, just before my birthday so i'm building the brownie points as she doesnt know it yet but she will be buying me rear wheels as a pressie![]()
