hehe, that's nice to see a car in good hands (and yes, wet tarmac fits to that too  )
Also, overhere, an RHD car is cool, because no one has one, and overthere, LHD is cool, for the same reason probably 
Can't we just swap cars, so everyone would be cool

Cool car,,,
roundabouts, X-Roads, even a 3rd Gear sideways moment (not initiated by me).
All went well except for a bit of a traction issue when leaving my street  , which resulted in me passing my house backwards  much to the amusement to the Lithuania guys nextdoor, them diffs take a bit of getting used to.

I see you're making some progress! 
Should have told me you were going to replace the interior. Otherwise we could have swapped seats with Mux.

Hadnt planned on stripping the interior until I was offered 500eu for it

That's another way to fix the arches.
What about the right front fender? 
And still driving around with the same plates?

Export plates all the way
The police just dont seem to bother with the complication of looking at cars with EU reg plates, only stopped once so-far at a Drink-driving & tax checkpoint.
Yep I put the original grey fender/wing back on, with the rust trimmed off the bottom.
As for the cams Peter, they are still in the Uk dunno,

Sorry to see that mate
not too bad though, I've seen a lot worse repaired.
Remember it's a competition car, you use it, you don't stand and look at it.
The nicer it looks the less like a competition car you will drive it, get it fixed up quickly and just drive it. Good luck
