Thanks for the replies,  its in for Mot at work tomorrow ( i get them cheep so having one just to know what needs doing) 

Im going to give it a full service, cambelt, do all the work that needs doing etc..  needs a bit of body work really but nothing serious, i plan to restore it to near new condition really! Will see how it goes after the service, this has been sat for 8 months with the same oil etc..

It set me back £400.   :smiley:
