cheers, it does need work but as you say it is a honest car, its had a little bits and pieces done, but I will be doing a complete nut and bot restoration. I will not be rushing this and will be looking at buying equipment for powder coating etc. if I can find somewhere to rent a spray booth a bloke I work with at the moment is an ex v.w panel beater and sprayer. I plan to strip the car and while the body work is being carried out, rebuild the engine and gearbox.
