gates racing timing belt
and a load of other stuff i have missed
s9b gearbox (1st to 5th syncros are mashed) and the diff is becoming sloppy
main subframe is damaged because some dumb person pulled out in front of me oldly my car had a damaged wing filler bar and front bumper her was a complete right off HA
steering rack is knacked also because of the crash
the rear has been converted to discs and the front has the larger discs fitted
coil overs all round/ skunk2 lower lca's on the rear plus bushes and all that good stuff
