well need rubbing down and respray
bin through the engine got all original stuff in
but had to replace distributor cap hp leads and ignition coil
interiors a bit shabby so needs recovering cream leather is the plan :D
then chromeon outside, e.g. running boards and trim then window seals need replacing and mmost of the other seals then lower it and then any ohter bits tht i think of lol :thumbs:

so not to much :p
only cosy me £250 so a bargain from all angles :D:D:D:D:D
just lotsa littlle bits and the car has no rust in floor panels and stuff so even better
