    How much do you plan on spending on bits?

    Can you post a pic of the car?

    They don't really lend themselves well to fancy bits stuck on.

    Well I have a grand to start, it's quite clean back bumper needs to be re fixed as it hangs a bit, but other than that it's ok, don't really want to stick bits on ad you say but I'd like to do it up and keep it looking well

    What wheels are on it? Good tyres?

    How's it driving? Suspension nice and tight?

    If it were me, I'd get the bumper done, get some OE wheels and try and get some nice seats. Then sort the mechanical bits like bushings etc.

    Before spending any money on it, get it up on a ramp and have a good look underneath for rust. Those old primeras are prone to it and if yours has any you might be only throwing your money away doing it up.

    Have it 10 years, no rust had it serviced recently, had brakes and cv joints done, nothing else needed mechanically its sound.

    Rust doesn't usually show on the outside of these. It's usually underneath on the chassis that they rot. I very rarely see examples with no rust underneath anymore.
