3 months on...

It's now 3 months since I bought my '91 Driver. In that time it's had a new cylinder head gasket, water pump, timing belt, various coolant leaks fixed, new head lining, various bits of internal & external trim replaced, red stripe grille, and my latest purchase is a pair of red stripe bumpers from Germany. I know this isn't OEM for a Driver, but I love the look! I think the next job will be a new heater matrix, as after various repairs the heater is still cold.
I'm really pleased with the car, it now goes really well both in city traffic and the right hand lane of the M6 (even when it's moving).

You"ve picked a fine time to do the heater matrix  :D
Make time to replace the heater flap foam, check the dash for "leaks". Worth doing them all at the same time because you won't want to take the dash out again!
Good luck.

You have the red stripe bumpers, I’d get the transfers and run them down the side of the car.
