As above - forget the timing belt and gearbox leak. Cancel that appointment and keep the money for replacement panels and labour costs for the shell. Why have the belts done when the cars going to be off the road anyway.

Personally- things like brakes I’d be keeping. It’s a proper kit and not a home made contraption. No harm in venturing off OEM with stuff like that, they won’t hurt values of keeping it original.

Absolutely stunning!

Stick an advert in the window for it at CS.

NOOWWWWWW THENNNN…! Turbo whistle and spool noises..!

Treat that vid as a sound check vid 👌🤩😂

Spark plugs and leads. Coolant hose repair tape (more so for the journey) Alternator belt Cam sensor. Shoukd have you covered for basic road side mechanics.

Tax is £210 for 12 months if paid direct debit. £200 in full. Online says 37mpg average.
