It's a good starting colour, but the wheels are unfortunately "those" wheels that we all buy then regret it when we realise what looks good.
A nice car though, and a good base to make an interesting first car!
I think what Fred's trying to say is buy a second hand bracket for peanuts, buy a second hand alternator for peanuts, buy a new water pump and aux kit and then get someone who knows what he's doing to fit it.
I owe one random member one, but I don't work near a post office and I'm not at home when one's open, so I feel bad for that. I hope he found one elsewhere.
I may have caps though. Maybe..
I love the progress on this, very consistent, reminds me of me and my ph1. Takes me ages to buy bits for the zed because they're £££.
With regards to the rattling, buy some cheap dynamat copy type stuff and get it over any contacting points on the doorcard. Door shut sounds a lot better too...
£21 a month? You cannot be serious. I'd almost actually buy them for you. (If you lived closer and I was able to break your legs if there was missed payment).

All that...
It needs more then a little jiggle if I'm honest. You can get any old rear springs I think, as long as they're the same rating-ish.
I have a purple set in the garage that I have NO idea about, but you're more than welcome to try them to see if they cure the noise?
You're not local to me are you Mark? We could investigate this pretty easily.
I'd be jacking it up via the beam, then shaking the exhaust about.
Then unbolt the shocks one at a time and check if they're nice and tight with moving up and down, not got any side to side movement etc...
Now that's how to get traffic! Even if it wouldn't stick around.
