New wings, lower valance, front slam panel to get rid of rust. Under sealing as I go

Tailgate welded up and repaired, few patches on the boot floor to do.

Scuttle panel to weld up below the wiper motor/linkages

Respray, haven't decided how far I'm going with this wether or not I go for a full respray,
only do the parts I'm changing or go for a colour change.

Suspension/brakes/wheels/tyres:

Going to rebuild the rear axle and raise the rear ride height at least 40mm

Front end is getting new shocks and lowering springs to get rid of the coilovers which are too harsh, going to attempt to fit citroen c5 front hubs with xsara vtr 283mm brakes, xsara driveshafts and a power steering conversion from a 406.

15" steels or minilites with 175/55/15 tyres all round

Engine:

Full Hdi 110 engine conversion from a 2002 xsara hdi

Engine to have some upgrades/work to involve new cambelt/water pump/tensioners, head checked and skimmed, arp head studs, victor reinz headgasket, forged connecting rods with new big end bearings/arp bolts, steel sump swap, no air con, just pas and alternator.

R75/cp1s fuel pump, jtd nozzles, 1.6 fpr, 3 bar map sensor
