Right..ok.. i started this thread after a few beers so what i'm going to do is get some quotes to have the bodywork sorted.. dents pulled out/bumpers re-sprayed and a few other bits touched up, then price up the gearbox repair because there is nothing wrong with the box itself, the welding is at the front underneath where the sill and floorpan meet..probably about the size of an average sized envelope.
Its on coilovers and i like the way it sits but they are probably past their best so i'd replace them with something of better quality and thus a better ride and probably do all the suspension bushes too while we are there.
I'd have the standard longbeaches refurbed because i like the way they look but i'd put some better rubber on.
While the bodywork is being sorted i'd probably get the plastic arch trim removed and anything that needs doing there sorted.
The interior doesn't really need anything but if a decent set of leathers were for sale i'd certainly think about it.
The engine is a peach so apart from a service and cambelt i'm quite happy to leave it as an 8v.
So thats where we are at with it...
All of this is not to build a show car or win any prizes and i'm too old for the 'scene' anyway so its purely to get it shipshape and ready for another good few years of daily motoring.
