Mark's first car

Well it has been bought, newly MoT tested (and passed after replacing a duff bulb). It's done 70,500 miles and last year had a replacement engine out of a 30,000 mile car after the original engine broke a valve. That engine had a new cam belt fitted, so what's to be done? Here's the list we are working to...
1. A full service, with
2. New brake pads (front) and
3. New brake shoes (rear)
4. A new clutch (the current one is near the end of it's life and very heavy)
5. Interior valet
6. Removal of a small dent in the nearside door
7. Exterior valet, buff & polish
8. 2 new hydraulic strutts on the rear hatch
9. Replace a duff exhaust mounting bracket.

Including buying the car, all that should come in at under £800 -- a bargain for a first motor!
