Can I suggest pulling off the nose cone (read bumper) and skirts. You might find some rot there that will need dealing with. I know I found some

last thing you want is spend that money on a spray only to end up with hidden rust making its presence known 6 months down the line.

Can I also suggest you make sure you get some good sealant around the rear lights and centre panel when you put them back on. The original stuff doesn't seal well once you have broken it. Water has a tendancy to leak past them and get into the boot rotting it faster than erosion on Beachy Head ... I speak from experience here

All good stuff. Is this a Jap import. Cannot remember seeing one with the repeat indicators on the rear wing before now just above the rear vents.

Coilovers

Good grief. It sure as hell looks like a lot of work has gone into this.

I've never seen another one before and after a respray. Make sure you put up pictures.

I would be interested to know where you plan to get coilovers. They just don't make much stuff for these creatures anymore.

That young lady looks very happy.
