Thanks for putting up the photo of my new motor, believe or not this is the most i've paid and the worst condition 164 i have ever purchased.
The car will probably need a 75% respray, to bring it up to the standard of my last 164, the h reg manual i purchased from Mont Townsend, and helped my friend Peter Smethurst show at many Bkv's.
I will be getting some quotes for the paintwork, there are quite a lot of different paint shades as well as a few surface rust on the lower panels, i just can't stand rusty areas, however a full respray will probably be better and cheaper in the long run.
The wheels will need to be refreshed, and the engine bay will need serious time spent to bring it up to scratch.
hopefully , funds allowing i can get it ready for shows next year.
Julian
