welcome to the forum, Oli.
She looks to be in a very good shape for her "age". Keep her well maintained and she'll love ya back double fold. I would say keep her classy on the exterior/interior.
As far as the powertrain, depending on your drive style, probably you can at least upgrade the clutch.

other than that she looks good!

Welcome to the forum. I can't imagine a 14 year old car with miles that low. I bought mine used in 2005 with 37k miles and am now at 140k.
I wouldn't be to quick to mod. Drive it for a while and make sure it works well. Even if it was well treated, you could have age-related problems. Also, avoid driving over curbs, even for pictures, since it makes a mess of the steering linkage and suspension. Cheers. :-)

ty for your comments keep em coming!
oh yes i plan to keep her well maintained just had the cambelt done as it had factory one on and its 14 years old! only cost £90/$140 for cambelt and had her serviced at the same time. i was thinking of lowering but im not sure i want to compramise ride for it so may just go for springs, probably about 30 mm.. im trying to source the chome trim for around the windows off the v6 models from the uk spec over here it should finish it nicely. shame its only a 2.0 4 cylinder but im 21 so insurance is steep and this things milage attracted me too much im a used car trader and i came across it for £500/$850 and couldnt say no. for that money you get a 200k v6 with a dashed interior so i opted for the 25k 2.0 lol
ps. the insurance was £950/$1450! full comprehensive cover but its worth every penny.
