Fanatastic job & good write up, have been working on a similar project myself, Cat D & was supposed to be repaired already, not likely, glad I'm not the only one to loose their marbles when it comes to reviving a Coue, job well done

Inspirational! The coilovers look awesome, do they do a specific fitment for the coupe? Couldn't see one on their model list.
Can't wait for final pics!

Guess i'll just have to say thanks to MR. Jeremy Clarckson from Top Gear for that!  The coilovers look awesome, do they do a specific fitment for the coupe? Yes they do! the price goes around 950€ and I must say that they are great, for that price they even include Camber adjustment in the front suspension! it looks like some bits are from a plus like the dials, gear knob, and normal steering wheel?
maybe its different in europe? No, originally it had all that redish interior and black dials, I had all this parts from a Plus version so I converted it... Thanks for all the comments!

No one like to say that black is the best colour but thats 2 resently converting to it i must say that i would have possibly kept it red and done the same (i.e. paint everything) as i do like a mint red le. But looks a very good job. do you have any links to those coilovers? look a good piece of kit with the camber adjustment also!

No sorry mate. there's no direct link to this specific model of coilovers, or i can't seem to find it, they are D2's Racing coilovers Type RS, they do specific kits for each car model, try to contact you're local reseller... I always wanted a black LE, not that i don't like red, i do, but i think black is the colour that suits it best...

I emailed the D2 guys directly, they were very quick to mail back, and very helpful. I was quoted £669, coupe model 95-01. Ads

Think positive, you're only 3 months away from having you're beauty running!  At least you can't complaint about you're car's new mate for the last days! Will you keep the wiper for the rear window? Yes, after thinking about it over and over, i actually find it usefull in some conditions... like cleaning the rear window to see the face of the brave man that is going to get smoked in the next 30 seconds down the highway!
