Trying to bring it back to life!

[vpm]

Bought a rough diamong a while back with the intention of making it good again, but it's doing it's best to die quicker than i can rescue it!!
Jobs done so far are:
Replaced cam chain
Replaced aux belt
Replaced anti roll bar links
Replaced air bag ecu (secondhand)
Bought secondhand spare wheel and tyre (from a scrapper)
Replaced front to rear brake pipe
New discs and pads all round
Replaced rear coil spring
Replace front seat adjustment cable
All this in five months and now needs replacement strut bearings and a new thermostat, good job i do it all myself!

That's okay the one i mention with all the work is a preface lift on a 52 plate, it's the 1.8 thats a face lift, have to say that's had it's fair share of work as well, Diff bearings, drop links, cam belt, wheel bearing and thats had a rear spring aswell.
