Haven't had that much progress with this of late (in terms of getting things done), but I have ordered myself some BakerBM solid beam mounts, fitted some BakerBM gear linkages, bought some Eibach -30mm lowering springs, and finally taken the 21mm torsion bars out of the Xsara VTS beam (thanks Grant!). They'll be getting fitted soon, and also a new clutch hopefully (will probably be giving Kris a call for that).
In the mean time, I gave this an epic clean yesterday. Clayed with some new Dodo Juice clay (the medium/fine one) which needed a LOT of lube initially. I don't think it was fully warm when I first used it, so it actually managed to stick to the paint a little in places, so I had to take a lot of time getting that off carefully not to damage the paint. Clayed the whole thing, then polished using some of Niall's Meguiars polish, followed by some PoorBoy's Natty's Blue wax. I'm really pleased with the finish.
