Just a little update of how the car stands currently, not much has changed, springs have settled a little now so its the tiniest bit lower 
Got a laguna splitter from the scrappy for a fiver, its cut to size now but not actually screwed into the bumper yet and got my sport seats in just gotta find the door cards and carpets now! now
Hope you like!
Before changes...
After (still waiting on my alloys)
I know about the rust, working on getting it sorted out!
Car is a little bit dirty because its been sat where it is for a little while lol.
Thank you for looking

I know stupid thing!
Just shows that previous owners havent looked after it really  There is a flame red merit round our way for sale at 695... only thing wrong with it is a dent in a boot, nothing a trip to the scrappy can sort, other than that its bloody mint! Not rust what so ever!

Small Update...
My wiper arms once looked like this...
And made the car look even shitter than it does with the rust on the bonnet, so I thought I would spray them to tidy them up a bit
Rubbed down...
And the finished product.
Looks a lot better imho
Really happy with the finish

Cheers guys I know the rust is shit, but its trying to afford to sort it or as deadliner said getting new parts is like trying to find rocking horse shit in a field Im just trying to get the money together to get enough paint to spray my old wheels up as I want them back on so bad! Just haven't got any money atm

i know mate, my other car was silver, took me over a year and a half to find a dent free silver door, gold is even harder to find, and if you did find out chances are it would be dented, scratched, you name it, its a nghtmare.

Found a rust free bonnet, no scratches or anything and when the kid was taking pictures he dropped it and had a massive scratch down the front

typical, do you reckon a buffer would get the out or are they below surface?

Deadliner, the scratch was down to the primer
Got a pic if you wanna see it? Was really bad!
Thanks Mike I've been meaning to do mine for so long, I rubbed them down ages ago and they got worse so I decided it was time, paint only took an hour to be dry enough to put on the car again after 4 coats, was pretty impressed with the finish too Went on really smooth!

Been a while and nothing has really changed, a few bits here and there but not enough to update really...
My misses bought me a stubby ariel for christmas but gave it me early so I stuck that on today
Old vs. New.
And on the car
My mum decided to buy me some genuine vauxhall mats for christmas as well, but because she was to lazy to clean them she gave me them early I doubt I'm going to have much to open this christmas at this rate! They are cleaner but they have wet patches on from me just getting back from work
Also had a can of tinting spray in the cupboard so decided to tint my side repeaters until I can be bothered to get some proper ones, they will do for now
Before...
After...
Car is filthy so I do apologise, but currently I don't care! The constant cold weather is not motivating me very much
