Took the car out for a drive and decided to take some photos last night before dropping it off to get the speed stripes fixed today.

Thanks Ben. I've got them on the watchlist as a possible 2nd option to another set I'm chasing.

Thanks all. I picked up some plastics an indicator and a new boot liner from a friendly enthusiast who is parting a car in christchurch. Then got a couple of secondhand tyres to throw on in the meantime. I cleaned the interior and discovered one grill under the driver's seat (which I had broken, pulling on it before I figured out how to raise the seats) I've done the soldering fixes on the cluster and the climate control unit and checked faults and cleared the srs light (already fixed drivers setbelt tensioner) for the faults I used an OBD1 to OBD2 adapter and the Xtool anyscan A30M. It was my first time using it and I was a bit worried because I'd bought it from aliexpress and it wasn't cheap but a couple of hundred cheaper than other places I had seen them. Anyway it seems pretty good. I found the back nut on the intake manifold was finger tight and the vaccuum line to the fuel pressure regulator has fallen off so the engine is running better. Next are the transmission issues, wish me luck.
