Should of really done this as I went along. I got the car last July and have enjoyed every minute of it.

How I went about it
Firstly I had it remapped and a panel filter. Changed the PCV valve, cam follower, diverter valve. Full service. Brake fluid. Air con etc
Then the modding started and I've become addicted
Wheel refurb one of the first things I did due to corrosion
