Since getting Paul's ZT what I can remember is:

MOT
Lower engine mount
2 tyres
Tyre protectors
Wiper blades
Seat repair
Stainless exhaust
Krown rustproofing
Belts, service, autobox oil, brake fluid
Set of straights (soon to be fitted if I can get my dodgy bolts off!)
New genuine wheel centres (Couldn't help myself)
New tray clips
DD unit (awaiting arrival)
Puncture repair
New condenser and re-gas
Private reg and new plates

And probably more I have forgotten. I added it all up the other day and so far since October last year I've gotten through about £2500 not counting fuel. Quite a bit was for things that didn't HAVE to be done, but I wanted sorting. Next year I think all there is left is bumper paint correction, new flag badges, new mats, replacement boot plinth as my lugs are broken, and I want to eventually replace the front subframe support bracket things as they were the only crusty underbody bits and it niggles me lol!

I sold both my 75's and my first even car, an 82 Cavalier to be able to do all this, and I don't regret it. Selling the cav also gave me a garage to put Blue in.
