Thought I best do a massive update on where the car is at.
It spent about 6 months like this:

Then my friend got his on the road and sorted and gave me the kick up the backside that I needed to get the car back on the road again, cue quite a lot of different orders turning up:
Pagid brakes for now (now it is mot'd and on the road I'll decide what I'm doing brake wise)

Picked up some Rota Grid V's, these currently have 45 profile tyres on but once they run out I'll be going for some 50's on there as they are much cheaper...with the main aim to be track use this is the most sensible option.

Gave the car a full service, new rocker gasket and o ring on the cas, then got it mot'd and it passed first time with only 3 advisories. I also gave the rocker cover a quick going over while it was off the car to tidy it up.

Sorted the interior out for now, smaller dished steering wheel (being 6ft 5 this helps massively with space), put in a cd player that picks up something other than radio 2, I also now run a shifter extension and have filled in the gap below the cd player.

I then picked up some coilovers, just cheap ones for now until I get sorted with some work on the clio then I'll go for some hsd or meisters, not too sure what would suit me more just yet.
Anyway I whacked it all together:

And one with my brother who is of similar size to me to show how daft we both must look with it...

Since the pics were taken I have raised it up a bit due to it not wanting to go anywhere without scraping with myself and a passenger in, it is now set to a much more sensible and usable height.
Next up I'm going to try and find a new red nosecone and passenger wing to replace the faded ones and then it will be better coilovers and half cage time along with some seats.
Thanks
