Bingo, bit rough idle but that should hopefully be able to be sorted with a full service, plus plugs, leads, rotor arm, distributor cap, timing check etc.
Checked operation of everything, with some snags
Heater and fan, works although once running a few minutes I had a small puddle of coolant in passenger footwell🙁. Must be leak at the hoses to the matrix or I can just bypass the matrix for a year. Whilst mopping up, on lifting the flooring, noticed perforated anti drum pads. Are these as they came from the factory?? If so then a good sign she hasn’t had floors mucked about with in the past.
No dash lights
Fuel gauge showing full.
Wipers park vertically and very slow.
Oh well the list will no doubt get longer and longer quickly.
Cheers

Yes, they did have those pads from the factory.
On a separate note I found this image of a dark blue 145 exactly same shade as mine was. If you blow the image up you will see that it is a very distinct blue - slightly lighter than navy, but does look navy in certain light.
Will be satisfying getting the small things done so that it is drivable before embarking on the full restoration.
