thats what it looks like now. but its annoying me as it needs sooooo mcuh doing to it and its not even cheap things. 
list of things that need sorting:
1) rust is starting to appear on the boot 
2) front bumper needs a respray
3) rear bumper could do with a respray
4) bonnet needs a bit of rust sorting and a respray
5) suspension is broke i think (would be getting a full lowering kit)
plus i want cobra forenza (sp) seats in it and the interior sorting out.
so altogether my cars annoying me now as i need to spend far too much money on it to get it how i want it. plus theres an annoying buzzing/rattling noise coming from the glove box but i think i know what that is and i should be sorting it 2moro.
sorry for the rant.
matt
ps anyone want to hazrad a guess at how much it will all cost me.

im at the same stage mate, i need to fit my front bumper, side skirts, get my spoiler painted and fitted, get a new backbox, get a new petrol tank fitted (not cheap) dints and dings, rust from rear wiper hole, paint chips repaired, interior finishing
so i know exactly how you feel mate but just stick at it and itll be worth it in the end

Do you have a garage/somewhere sheltered? If so, spend £150 on spraygun/compressor, and have a go at it yourself. It's how I learnt.

See my garage above, its where I do all my work.
Ok, you cant do a whole car in there, but bonnets/bumpers etc, shouldnt be a problem...

mines a touch smaller than yours id say put it this way you can only just walk down the one side of the car. but its still having the time to do all the preping and spraying plus practicing.

Believe me, it is possible, I did all mine whilst studying for my degree/working too.
It's very rewarding if you do manage it.
Good luck with the car anyway, sure you'll sort it one way or another.
