personally i would just get your worse bits done as a full respray will cost you more than the cars worth unless u can paint..

iv tryed using those touch up pens for it n got it to best i can but still think it culd go better lol , found a mate that can spray my car for me on the cheap just pay for paint n time in spray booth but gotta save up first lol.
i've got a whole list of things still to do mate from anti rolebars to polly bushes respraying the lower arms n rear trayling beam the list goes on lol,

just wating for my coilovers to come but unsure how far i want to drop atm 60-80 mm sounds good for now

try ebay for exhuast systems the system i've got is a sportex 4-2-1 (which i will heat wrap when i swap engines over) then a full sportex with centre box and a 3" rolled box
sounds good for a 1.2 but when i get my 1.4 in there it will be straight through to back box be LOUD lol
