Just picked it up last night and drove 70 miles back.
I have bought it with intention of a full restoration. I haven't decided whether I will keep everything original or upgrade it, e.g. to an engine from younger model, m tech bumpers, newer model seats, etc.
I have noted some bad points:
-I don't dare to look underneath yet, its quite rusty at the bottom o wheel arches, etc.
-when started cold you need to rev it up for a bit otherwise it goes off
-dipped beam is not working, as some other electrics - windows, mpg indicator on a tacho, etc.
-sometimes makes a noise when changing gears and just about to fully realease the clutch
-Interior is quite worn out, dasboard is cracked in a few places,
-oil leak
Good points:
-A 'new' roof was included, which is solid
-drives ok and seems to be mechanically sound
-when warmed up engine sounds really nice
-bodywork doesn't seem too bad and won't need too much preparation for painting
-alloys are clean
Comments appreciated!
