those poly bushes will transform your car Dave.... I've only fitted the polys to the rear of mine so far and the difference is amazing... the car finally handles now

I'm hoping it will be ready for JapFest. I'll have to use the trip up there to explore the difference in handling. Will also try and do a before and after pictorial with the new springs.

mmmm, red is definitely the fastest colour. Is that Andy Tappenden who's doing the work? He's a good bloke, comes out on the Guildford FDUK meets with his FD. He's been helping Ada prep his car for the strip lately, sound fella

High praise indeed, thanks buddy - I'd say it's down to good ownership and loving care though 
Best 1st Gen is a great award, many congratulations mate, you must be very proud!

Great work Dave, I understand your dilema with working area and wanting to do as much as possible hey, thats why mine is tucked nice, safe and importantly dry at Rotechniks whilst I prep her for the resto.
Look forward to hearing about the results of the mods and improvements.

Progress report...... Front end is now all done. A few bolts played the 'hell no, we won't go' card so Andy had to cut them out in the end and fit replacements. Springs all fitted and front shocks are KYB for the meantime. The Koni's will have to wait until I can find the relevant top nuts to fit (hopefully will find out next week).
It's just the rear bushes to fit now.... will get an update from Andy at the end of the week. Promise I will take some photos next time I'm down there.
Once I get TWiR back home, it's a quick call to the guys at National Mobile Windscreens in Reading who have a screen waiting to go in which will hopefully fix the leaky bit once and for all
Almost forgot, this drop link set in rather fetching red is currently residing in my front suspension setup. Sent from the US via USPS and the best part was no added charges from HM Customs (which was nice).
