Someone ticked a lot of boxes on the options sheet. Much prefer the half leather seats buts thats just me.
Going to get some mesh for the grill?

Plans sound good. Is that a baileys DV? I recomend collins dump valve if you ever have to replace your current one.

not really to be honest its pretty well specced as is. only really want to refurb alloys and keep it in good nik for now. then maybe coilovers bigger brakes and if funds allow drop a z20leh in it.
