) did my clutch, gearbox and coolant not long after I got the car, so they should be ok.. 
Seriously, First thing I would be doing is looking to prevent rust (or invariably, solve existing rust!)(which does nothing really, but sounds nice!)....!"If in doubt - just make the numbers up!" 
But then do the suspension, it's not too expensive for a set of KYBs and some springs. Are you going to use the car every day?. so my toy... . 
(I don't think Dorking is too far from Guildford) you're welcome, I've done a bit to it so might give you some ideas (what not to do)!

Short of dropping in the 2l turbo engine straight away!!
Suspension, brakes, body, tyres, wheels, anything!

Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
(in the other section), mod the suspension as it will totally transform the car. Don't lower the car more than an inch/30mm. Fensport springs and Koni's work incredibly well. With polybushes you won't believe its the same car. Just for the record on my new early MK1 i will be fitting Yoko A539s as I honestly don't like to have too much grip, but the key thing with the A539s is they are nice and progressive and will stand up to the odd trackday here and there.$140 with the shipping,thats about £80....fensport want double that for the same thing.I got the kit last week and its superb quality,comes with full fitting instructions and even little tubes of lube,cant praise the twosrus bush kit enough.
.. I think I'll be wanting a set of bushes for mine..

Ok, so suspension and airfilter/exhaust seems to be my way forward.
Paul, how many bushes is it? And how easy/hard are they to fit?
I'm quite happy to get my hands dirty and would like to think I've done most things to a car in my day, so I don't scare too easily.
On the subject of Trackdays, does anyone go reasonably regularly? I'd love to make 2005 a trackday year, I've done a few before but not for a couple of years, and it would be nice to see a recognisable face or two.
We did an IMOC trackday at Donington last month which went down well. Damen wrote:On the subject of Trackdays, does anyone go reasonably regularly? I'd love to make 2005 a trackday year, I've done a few before but not for a couple of years, and it would be nice to see a recognisable face or two.
Second page is probably of more interest to you:http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic. ... sc&start=0...fitting the new stuff is childsplay and will make an untold difference to the handling.. . .
