I know! Was thinking of finishing this one and selling it to upgrade to an STi, huge bonus to find I've pretty much already got one
I'm searching for an Exedy pink clutch kit, can't tell if this is the right one:

So since Monday when the Scoob made it to the bodyshop I've gone a bit crazy with the parts buying, it now has ready and waiting to fit:
Exedy clutch kit
Godspeed disc brakes/pads/braided hoses all round
STi intercooler
STi scoop
STi instrument cluster
Also planning on getting the cambelt done while the clutch is getting fitted, tossing up between full cambelt kit or just the belt itself, whats everyones opinion on that kind of thing?

I 100% recommend him, he does a really good job without charging the earth and is a nice guy too, I brought a new scoop I haven't fitted yet too and a couple of days before the car was done asked if he could paint it up too, he did it without charging any extra.

Good to see the car looking so much better than before! Still not a fan of the rear lights but you've done a good job to fix it up

Thought about de-stickering the bootlid?

Awesome, did you get the door speakers done at the same time? And where did you put the microphone?

Still to do: speakers/desticker boot/rear lights/remap!!

Just wondering on peoples opinion of its value as it stands? I am off to France again from June through to September for work and may not be able to take the scooby Wondering if I should sell it/keep it but it'd be sat for the whole time, but if I were to sell it I'd want it to be worth it as I've put a lot of time into getting it back on the road and would prefer to enjoy it!

Personally i would keep it for all the hard work you have put into it so far and for the plans you still have in mind, september will come round quick enough and you'll be soon back to enjoy it before you know it.

True, I have a huge soft spot for it as it's nice to know I helped to keep it "alive".

Was also thinking having done all the big things like clutch/cambelt etc I should keep it as if I got something different when I got back and the cambelt snapped or something I'd kick myself.

Should book it for a remap when I get back too so there's even more to look forward to!

I'm hoping I'll be allowed to drive it over...there are a few decent tunnels on the way!!

The issue is where to keep it, I'm checking out if I'd be allowed to keep it on site but its a private villa that crazy rich people rent and they're going to want their supercars on show

Thanks for the replies, made me definitely want to keep it..worst comes to worst I'll have to leave it in the capable hands of my father (he drives like a nutter?!)

If you decide to leave it at home and keep it SORN it off the road and get the tax money back, then cover it up with a nice water proof cover.

I'd keep it if you can. Being completely honest, its only going to be worth around the £3k - £3.5k mark at best. The fact that its had damage will devalue it and its not really going to hold any extra value for being a uk300 considering its not got the original lights/rear spoiler/front splitter and looks so different from a uk300 now.

So today, despite a killer hangover, I decided to tidy up the bootlid a bit to get rid of the random stickers all over it!
Started like this:


To this:


And managed to get this far before my hangover got the better of me:


Will fight the rest of the glue gunk another day!
