Had a long day at work today, but did manage to do a bit on the car.
Front brakes repainted and fitted, re-used the old discs as there about 2k miles old if that... A bit rusty but hoping they clear off the first time i use them....
Front coilovers built back up and fitted.

Ride height (i cant adjust it without physically swapping the springs...)
I would like it slightly lower, but it'll have to do...

Rear coilovers also fitted, (after a lot of swearing and twa**ing the arches with a hammer) lol
They just about clear the inner arch. Just hope they dont rub a 15" wheel/tyre...

Rear ride height (but with a steel wheel, not sure how low it'll be on 15s)

Also managed to dig out my small washer tank and fit that, resprayed the front strut brace too :)
Happy with the days progress :cool:
Next on the list is brake fluid,oil,coolant,gearbox oil, wiring....... And then turn the key.....
Interior is going to just be a mix of grey/black trim lol, it should "work" though with the black cage etc :)
Looking more like a car
