Looking forward to some pics and updates with this project. I was sorely tempted to buy this when it came up, went for peanuts as well!
Did you find out how many sprinty VIS there are as I thought this was the only one, was it an import or UK car? Would it be better leaving this one as standard though due to its rarity and modify that common LE of yours
Good luck with this, I'm laying mine up shortly for a visit to the place you've just come back from, don't think I'll do any coupe spotting there
