Are the CF mirrors coming with the bonnet? 
That's a good purchase on the box! Someone on here is selling grp A engine mounts, that would be a very good purchase too! As they're very hard to come by now... Check the For Sale section!
BTW, the car now weighs 750kg with no fuel in it! LOL.  Get in!

Thanks Smiith.
Right guys, it's decision time.
I've been thrifty, even though I've just spen a LOT of money on the car recently. As you may know, I've purchased lot's of bits! Inclusing Hi-specs, grp A engine mounts, strut braces, and the big whopper was having all the brake lines replaces and the ABS oowt!
But it's crunch time and I've got some big decisions to make. In a nutshell, I've got £4000 to spend on the car if I choose to do so. It's fair amount of money, so I need to make the right choices for sure. 
Here's a list of all the things I would like done with the car eventually, and will not fit within the current 4k budget. They're in no particular order:
a) Fit a rollcage
b) Fit iTBs with proper engine management
c) Fit catcam 734's / new valve springs / new retainers
d) Re-build the S1 gearbox and fit a Quaife ATB LSD
e) Spray the interior white + the rollcage - Requires 'a' obviously...
f) Re-spray of FG bonnet, front grill, and both wings
g) Fit AST coilovers, replacement rear dampers and TBs
So, quite a lot of things!  Whether they'll all get done is another matter.
I really, REALLY want to get the iTBs done. I've harped on about it for so long now, and I've finally got the funds to do it, so I think I'm going to make this my first choice. I think the AST coilovers and rear suspension is important too, so I'd like to do them now too. I think i'd be luck to fit those 2 things in the 4k budget, so that leaves important other bits out. I really don't know what to do!  Advice?

Considering the length you've already gone to with the car, it'd be rude not to do it.

I think that's what I'm going to do. Will see if I can get those done with the budget.
