Only thing I can think of are the tappets, which would be good to replace and finally get rid of that ticking noise

First decision:
Mechanicals or performance or aesthetics.
Narrow it down from there

I'd personally go coils, might need to have save just a wee bit more (or you should've claimed more hehe, assuming tax refund).
They have good resale value for the most part and give you better handling plus the ability to adjust your height etc.

If you don't know how to fix your own car and have to take the car to mechanics.......put it towards a kitty. You'll probably need it
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Love your nostalgia trips every time a true old-timer pops up out of the woodwork.
Yeah & if I know Sooty, he'll still have his GR and he'll still ring me when he needs to know something, like how to change a tire

The old girl is now sitting at 203,000 kms, not a bad effort from 48,000 12 years ago!
Funnily enough, my car is playing up (and no, it's not the tyre
