A few more updates- probably seen on other threads
Airbag light fixed- simple case of operator error!
Sorted some paint issues and lacquer peel
Replaced the starter motor which was more difficult (painful and scratchy) than the 2.2 I did before- but now starts on the button as opposed to labouring
Final list is now:
Rear drop links
Rear ARB bushes
Treat rear rusty areas noted on MOT
Fit new handbrake shoes
Re grease steering rack
Then it’s going to get listed for sale!
Depending on which one sells first dictates which one stays… so very torn!

If you weren't too bothered about manual/auto I'd keep the Grey one for the full aero kit and high spec!
Anyway good luck getting the last jobs done.

Project Aero has just rolled off the drive into new ownership
Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed that one and I hope it lives a long and pampered life!
Onto the next one!
