Default Blue project

Well its taken me the best part of two months and she's nearly done just a few personal touches left to do,put her in for a mot and sailed through (no advisories),would have been very let's say not happy if so.anyway thought seen as it's a nice weekend I would give her a bit of a clean doesn't come up to bad at all really impressed what's your views. Now the problem is whether to keep it or sell it.
What's been done so far,
New rear sub frame(treated)
New springs
New shockers and mounts
New upper &lower arms(treated)
New roll bar and links
New tank strap(treated)
New rear break pipes
New rear brake backing plates
New hand brake cables
New handbrake shoes(plus fitting kit)
190 set up all round
Refurbished rims with tyres
New decathlon exhaust with X power silencer (sounds nice and looks nice)
Had the engine out fitted new complete clutch kit with master as well new v belts plus thermostat
Refurbished fuel burner with stand alone supply(red diesel)and new pump
Had to change the fan as it was goosed
Aircon regassed
Had to change front pipes
All new fluids ie engine,gearbox,antifreeze,power steering.
I know these cars are getting broken at an alarming rate which is a real shame as it didn't cost me that much really I know if it went to a garage they would spank me,but I'm very much a hands on person.so that's about it really apart from a few other bits that I've missed like lights stereo oh and its no6 of 160(jgy)
So what do you think worth the investment or not me I'm thinking about my next project thanks for looking Gordon.

Very nice - more pics wouldn't be a bad thing to see


the Car looks Fresh I like the slightly Darker Wheels - Black looks wrong, this shade makes the car look more current while still looking OEM
