If it's been stored in a garage and it's nice and dry in there I'd put new fuel in it and try to start it, although I wouldn't leave it running for too long if it did start till I'd serviced it

Omg, I have no welding skills or practice whatsoever, I think I will need to in the future with 460 supplies being somewhat limited...this might be the practice car, hopefully its not in terrible shape

Just a quick update, the owner hasnt called me about seeing the car or any details

I guess it was a slight blessing as iv bern stuck on the m25 untill recently lol.

Might prod him tomorrow and see whats up.

I would normally agree with you there Rick but mine are perfect yet the inner arches and sills are rotten on mine.

What do you mean holding and release date? Has it been in some MI5 quarantine lol. But really the first thing you should do is drive it to my house and I will pay for your train home
