i get loom ecu and engine but, the engine is smokey and has done 120,000 the joys of ebay! but as a first car i dont want to spend to much and also i cant afford a lot so.... it will get a good service and new gaskets and then get the head sent off! the bumper looks sweet

Im with you mate, bumper doesn't seem to match up greatly, looks a bit flat if im honest.
And decide on the rear height when you get it all lowered. Just say to whoevers lowering it, where you want the arch to sit. They will then measure the distance and try and get it as close as possible.
