Well,
this was going to be a track toy, but decided to improve it as a road car instead.
So plans are to completely change everything so she will be running a full VTs running gear front and upgrade the rear all t 4 stud.

and recently, thanks to Wizza, I collected:
*Lowered 50mm front suspension and hubs off a Quicksilver
*106 GTI brakes with vented disk's and almost new pad's
*106 GTI driveshafts
*full Quicksilver, lowered 50mm complete rear beam.
This week I fitted the front end in a hour I had spare:

Need to pick up some drop links and an anti roll bar for it, just to make it that extra bit more stable.
Handles SO much better already and the brakes are awesome compared to the "stanp till your foot goes through the floor" standard 1.1 things!
Rear end next to do once I've finished on the current work on the proton.
