Fix the smell, get the engine running properly, then fart around with the body work. It's all about prioritising where you spend the money, it's the things that annoy you that you should sort out first they're the most important, you just don't see it whilst buying coilovers and green rim
You've done REALLY well there mate, looks absolutely brilliant with those side strips good work, spoiler will finish it off a treat. You got it all for a bloody good price too! Git!
You need less camber, doesn't even look like you've put the spacers on! LOL
How much were the spacers btw? And...
Looks a lot better, it just needs a fair bit of attention to detail now.
Get that paint properly polished up, get some sort of grille in that bottom hole in the front bumper, get some dual optics in there (the wiring is easy), and just tidy it up a bit really.
Wheels really suit it though...
Height wise, mine is pretty much aesthetic, remember to set the drivers side around 5-7mm higher than the passenger, don't go setting it up all dead even.
I'm not racing, so getting my car to look good, but still just about be able to make it over speed bumps etc was my aim.
Fully stiff on...
I have FK Silverline X's...
I run mine very low, about half stiffness on the front, about 2/3 on the rear...
My car is an everyday car but this setup suits me fine, sometimes for passengers the back is a little bumpy but meh.
With the following set up my car with:
Understeer on the limit...
Buying an old car scares me, I'd just want to make it properly cool...
How much have you spent messing with the Jason? More than the value of the car?
I know of a very nice old volvo going, tempted? Hell yeah.

I wasn't talking track really Jay, just as a road tyre, I really rate them.
For what you want Kane, they sound bang on. A very grippy tyre, my favourite thing being the way they don't just "go" when they lose traction, really lets you play with the car.
They should be a lot less than that cost wise, but personally, I rate them.
People on here will tell you horror stories of them in the wet, but I've never had an issue.
They're a great tyre in the dry, especially for the money.
Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
Paradas are great tyres, gotta love CS generated opinion.
Car looks brilliant, ph2 rear lights though, please? I have been liking some ph1 lights lately, but with the colour of yours it needs the ph2's IMO.
The covers do come off, it's pretty much common sense.
Remove the headrest and start at the bottom of the seat, where the back joins the bottom.
Basically there's a couple of strapping points down at the join, then you can pull the cover up a little, this reveals some metal split rings, you...
Are you sure the all black isn't where I sprayed it all over??
The repair - Holy f**k, was it worth it for what is a £40 wheel? Mental! (But I admire the commitment)
It's really nice to see these used though, you could go with some stickers from Ady, like the red ones that were on there, but...
History of the wheels:
Got four wheels like this off of Daniel (on the car), and then I had an altercation with a kerb and someone who couldn't drive.
I sourced the fifth wheel, it was silver, but I've got mad skills with the paint y0, so I created the other one.
Painting the lip was a real...
