Hi there, new to the site.. Been here a while but never posted.
I bought the car off a lad on here & ccuk called Daz.. Since gettin it i've done a fair bit to it.
This is how it looked when i picked it up:
Since then i have changed the wheels, wound down the coilies, got smoked facelfits and put in a fusion fabrications custom cage 
Also i've changed the turd baileys d/v for a collins twin piston job..
Here's some of how she looks now:
The car wasn't and hasn't ever really been running properly so it got taken off to MPG at the start of this week to be sorted..
As it transpired alot shortcuts had been taken on the wiring etc  ... But Mid Point Garage are sorting it all out the list of what is being done is:
New AFM
New front & rear lambda's
All the wiring for the conversion re-done from scratch!
New rear BCS
VXR injectors
And a fresh re-map to bring it all together
Its not gonna be cheap but the car will be completely sorted when its back and i knew it needed work when i bought it so its all good 
Got plenty more planned for it when is back and my wallet has recovered..
Thanks for looking if you wanna see the all the progress ive done on the car i have an ongoing thread on ccuk,
Marcus.

Thanks for the comments guys..
To answer some of the questions (no idea how 2 multiquote replies)..
I'm from the west mids near kidderminster
Got plenty more planned for it when i get the money ... Includin; rear strut brace, gettin all inside the back sprayed and doing a wiretuck, buckets, harnesses & momo team wheel... The list is endless lol
And it didnt go to the Raey's as i didn't want to pay for a trailer all the way up there and the AA won't go more than 100miles, also it needed mapping and i wanted the eds swithchable software
