I'd might go for a build thread if people are interested!?

Yeah, all good thanks. Shoulder is giving me grief but having physio for it...so can't complain too much on that front. I don't think? I was genuinely surprised when they wrote it off, the external damage wasn't that bad but it had shifted the boot floor slightly and I think that's what ultimately killed it. Ombudsman have been in touch this morning though, and things are moving on that front so hopefully something good will come of it yet! And managed to get the wheels on yesterday after a good couple of hours spent trying to unseize the eBay coilovers... gave up in the end as the top adjustable plate on all four corners was nigh on impossible to move in either direction, but have managed to raise the rear. Slightly. Think it's about five mil higher...if that. Still sits absolutely horrifically, looking like it's dragging its arse, but the wheels I'm in love with; Front end needs to come down, and the rear up a bit more and I'll be happy!

Annnnd the s**t luck of 2020 continues unabated; genuinely a few days after posting the last update, I went North to see a couple of mates I hadn't seen in ages...and got rear ended on the M1. Depending on how you want to look at it, fortunately I was in the Prelude...however, I'm now in a battle with the insurance company after they wrote it off because of a bent rear bumper, proceeded to undervalue it and are now refusing to budge on their valuation. To make matters worse, I had a random phone call from the chap who bought it as a Cat N asking for the service history folder. I asked him how much he'd paid for it as is, and transpires he'd stumped up more than a grand on top of what I got as a payout despite it having one key, no SH, and somehow no rear bumper and therefore no Motegi lip either. But anyway, cheers for the tip on the PSB bushes Kink - ordered them the other month, and they turned up two days later! Still haven't fitted them mind, but they're here at least! Cheers Broon - can't lay claim to anything behind my shed, but of the two, the yellow one is genuinely more fun :D And thanks for the kind words Dave - thankfully she has found a driving job at the minute with a car auction place and has talked her way in to sourcing a wind regulator for me from the piles of 'scrapped' cars out back... every cloud and all that! Hadn't really done much to this of late as I had been swanning around in other cars from work again, but the other night after a particularly crap conversation with the insurers, I had a proper 'f**k it' moment so bought a set of DC2 wheels, replacement stickers for the rear doors, new BT headunit, new gearknob and a few other bits for it from eBay...had wanted to fit the wheels and play with the ride height over the weekend, but the weather was appalling so they're still wrapped up in the hallway. Nothing revolutionary, but will hopefully update with pics later this week!
