Nice, but it's got a bit of a saggy bum.......
Ideal project for a wide-arch conversion

It's standard apart from BC coilovers , Brembos all round , 18" alloys and fully undersealed not a big fan of the front splitter so that will have to go so hopefully a deal will be done next weekend and ready for collection in January then the fun can begin , I know someone wants the splitter so I'm willing to help once I get a new one .

Keep it original (including the splitter) I would just adjust the BC's to a decent height to help it handle a little better (with a decent geo of course) which would also make it sit/look a bit better.
The v3/v4 Type R I would say are like the holy grail of classic ownership in my mind, If you can find a tidy one.

Personally I wouldn't do a thing to it.

If it is as clean and tidy in the metal I'd do a "project" of refreshing it and wait for it to appreciate.

Seem to recall saying something very similar about your Terzo!

I think I will listen everyone and keep it standard , engine keep standard but add a bit of colour to the engine bay and buy a set revolution millennium alloys to fit over the brembos I think that should do it .

Have a good look under both the rear arches, up inside the turret on the inside. That's where the normal rust gets 2 doors.

And get some more photos!
