Yep I certainly did mate last year around October for 7500. Tyres haven't been changed since 2012 and when I lift it I have to pry the jacks out of the jack points it's so weak with rust. Not a chance it passed a genuine MOT in at least a few years. It’s a miracle it got me back up to northern Scotland from Manchester but I do love it despite the knocking drivetrain and leaking fuel line and faulty immobiliser/power steering/headlights etc etc etc. massive project on my hands, but I have the space and time for it thankfully. I am a welder and I have worked on electrics before on motorcycles so shouldn't be too hard. famous last words eh. The previous owner mentioned Steve who originally imported it I believe, had it for a long time, sold in 2022. I had a look on google maps at the original address on the registration certificate and I can see it parked there back in 2009 before the body kit! so I think i'll send him a letter with some pics of the car if it ever gets fully fixed i'm sure he would be happy to see it. That’s incredible that you recognised it, I had a look but couldn't find a receipt in the logbook for an engine rebuild. If you happen to have any pics of it, would be great to see. Do you remember by any chance the milage at the time? We're sitting at 101k just now.

Either using a locked tt Subframe or an NA one, haven't decided yet
What else would be a good idea??
I'm not bothered about brakes disks or other bits that can easily be done after these bits have been done
