Should start a build thread for this one as lots will be happening over the next couple of months.
Car at the moment is completely standard.
Heres a photo of it the day it arrived. (ran out of petrol 3 meters after getting off tow truck. Engine decide not to want to run after about 2km of driving around the yard)
To do list:
Engine:
remove and replace with lower km engine. all seals and gaskets
port and polished throttle body
egr removed

complete cooling system (hoses and radiator)
Gearbox:
Replace with 4.17fd gearbox
New clutch and slave
m-tech short shifter
Brakes:
new vxr 321mm front brake upgrade
new discs and pads rear
Suspension:
Bilstein b12s (unsure if i'll use 50 or 30mm drop on front)
Whiteline castor bushes
Eibach Camber bolts
I have a rear sway bar but am unsure at this stage if it will be fitted.

Once the car is complete to my standards I will drive it around for a bit and then make a decision whether to keep it or sell.
