Good bits an bad, overcomeable bits. It's that blue/grey one from Hampshire, a few months back. Interior good, lovely spotlessish red carpet, rest good, tho front seats need recovering. Engine sounds good, started right up when got it home an fiddled about with emery paper, carb cleaner, an ticks over fine. However, the engine is going to be warmed up a bit, twin HIF6's etc.
Underneath is really good, for year. . . hole at end of o/s/r sill, behind wheel bins, thats it. Owner had spent some time spraying EVERYTHING underneath with black stuff, and even, so help him god, the engine bay. There is surface rust where underseal has cracked, so i'll scrub off gererally, rust converter, re-apply black stuff.
Alas, while it was in barn, something scraped down the nearside, all along, so beat of beating out, fill/smooth over paint. All brakes an bushes will be replaced, an overdrive fitted, wheels blast/paint, nice new 195's (thanks for advice, Classicswede) on.
It's going to be daily driver in summer months, current 240 Torslanda in winter. An has-anyone-got-a-nearside-rear-door-pretty-please?
