Thank you for all the posts and updates. I think you have taken on a challenge !!!
The vehicle has had a life of [mainly] short not fast journeys. I would hope/expect those owners offset that by making maintenance a priority. Their business is largely about dependability. But the vehicle will always live with its short journeys history.
I do try not to judge books by covers. It does sorry look as if the subsequent owners paid more attention to wheels and bonnet emblems than to maintenance? Ye heavens, the rotor arm had to be broken to remove it !!! (
Yes, ye heavens I noticed that accidental wordage that I used there.)
You know that you have taken on a project. So far there is nothing truly to worry about so far as I have read. So your diligent perseverance will pay dividends.
More power to your elbow.
