Cheers for the nice comments guys
Will post more pictures of progress after the upcoming weekend. Last weekend I had a lucky score, a full set of Kmac performance springs for $44! Have dropped them off to be blasted and coated, but I'm yet to know if they will be suitable as I hadn't planned on getting the springs until I purchased the new wheels and measured everything up. *Hopefully* they will be ok. Also got a new pair of Koni yellows for the front struts, so with a bit of luck my suspension is all organised
Battery/heater box/pedal box compartment is about 80% sanded back and ready for primer - this has been the most awkward part of the car to clean up. Putting the wiring loom back really scares me!
Currently I'm trying to decide whether or not to get the body resprayed or just attempt it myself. A pro job will probably be with 2-pack so the external finish will be a bit more durable than acrylic. What worries me is the time to do it myself - one always totally underestimates how long it takes to finish things and I really want to finish this car ASAP.
