Haha, It certainly made me look twice when you posted that Lol
Nah, Its got half of a VT kit on it at the moment, tomorrow (depending on the weather) I'll be putting the front arches on and the VT bumper I just got delivered.
I'll be servicing it and replacing the Discs, pads and calipers as they're mullered now.
Then at somepoint i'll be lowering it so it sits nicely, probably around 50mm but I'll be replacing the Dampers for decent ones with that aswell, so im waiting until ive got a nice amount of Money first

Yeah I probably will at somepoint, But need to get hold of a pair of Vtr/s struts and a rear beam.. So I'll probably look into doing that over the christmas period or something.
Ideally I want it all done, painted, lowered, VTR/S brakes conversion by february, then Once my insurance goes down, Do an engine change maybe. I want to get it on track a few times next year so One of the next things im buying is a decent half cage

Bit more of an update..not much, but it's still progress
Excuse poor pictures, My phone is either great or appalling at taking pictures, just depends what day it is..
Got my Tow strap fitted, and had a go at mounting the new VT bumper..
However, I then realised that it didn't have the side mountings on. Bugger.
So i found some on ebay, no idea if they're going to fit..as I'm not sure if they differ from normal ones. I;e, 1.1 etc.
Recieved this today aswell..
Thanks Lippy
Just another thing to play about with i guess.
Also started painting the rest of the car today aswell,
rear quarter done-ish.
Excuse the half arsed Saxperience sticker that someone attempted to peel off, I need to get round to replacing it.
Rear quarter and lower VT panel done, sort of.
Got the front arch on..
Also, the door trim I put on a while ago has come never been on properly, mainly because I rushed it and didnt clamp it down properly..so I need to take it off and redo it at somepoint.
Oil filter arrived to..
(The postman loves me..everyday he seems to come with a parcel of some sort)
Nothing to do with my car,
Mmmm Proxes 
Oh..and, This happened at college this week to...LOL
One of out tutors dropped an Engine..He got absolutely terrorised for it, and it's/was someones engine for there project this year too. Ahh Lol
Anyway, thats it for another day.
Ed

Another mini-update.
Been Ebay happy in the past couple of days.
FINALLY!!! Found and bought a pair of calipers to replace my duff ones!
They should be here sometime next week, as will a few tools.
bought a Draper expert Socket/torx set. A decent breaker bar and torque wrench and a few other little bits so very happy
Just waiting on my front bumper fixings and calipers to arrive, and the Magnex rear box from ScottyGSI( Cheers man) then can get some more pictures up as im working all weekend now.
Ed.

Haha..I know..I keep kicking myself not to do it like yours, but it just somehow seems to keep going that way.  Im sorry. Lol
If needs be I can always change colours and such, as that was one of the things I would like to do anyway, Just so when I get bored I can bust the spray cans out and go crazy

Managed to get some calipers New for £50-ish a side..
After I ordered them I found a pair of Calipers on ebay going for £10 each.. Obviously I had to buy them!
So managed to get them, and cancelled the order for my New ones , which saved me a bit of money for more pointless things..
Pointless things...Like Carbon fibre..yay
Only problem is though..I thought the dimensions were 2000mm x 1700mm when I read the description of it... then soon after I paid for it, realised it was only 200mm x 170mm LOL.
No wonder it was cheap
So im stuck with what to do with it now..probably just fabricate some window switch mounts and such to the dash for when I remove my centre console.
*Lesson...Always re-read the description..**
ahh well
Ed.
