Still so much to do but we're getting there...piece by piece.
Paint needs work but that can wait for the summer, cheeky little 10 mins with various products lead me to this outcome.

Yeah kinda good base...I guess
It was bought completely standard and so far things done are:
Roof changed
Coilovers
Black headlining changed from grey
VR6 Splitter
Osram nightbreakers
Aero wiper blades
Smoothed trims
Things to do in the next month are:
Refurb my other alloys
Tyres
Coilovers wound all the way down
Audio
Fit exhaust
Change clutch/gearbox
And a few other bits and pieces.
Thanks for the comments

Looks good Jay. It'll be weird seeing you drive your cabby again. I think the Peugeot suits you far better...

Yeah roof was a mission to start with but once the first was off the second was alot easier!!
Big thanks to Guy for the help/continuing help on the car!
Hopefully will have some progress on wheels and audio this weekend.

It looked quite nice rolling behind you as we joined the A14. Now get that US speccer sprayed up and mounted. Then give the car a detail and add some new plates and it'll look mint.
There, that's all the compliments I can give in one day without self-harming. I hope that pleases you. Sicko.
