This will be a slow burner, no intention of going at things with any pace.
I won't go into great detail other than to say that this caught my eye in February 2016, at the time it wasn't for sale. Totally blown away with a test drive and lusted after it ever since.
Its been neglected for years and I intend to slowly bring it back to its glory.

Paint looks pretty bloody good in the pics for a neglected car!
Look forward to watching the story unfold

New rubber to be chosen. Originally the car was fitted with 205 front 225 rear, going for 205 and 245 which generally seems to be a recommended change.

The driver seat bolster was badly bent out of shape, years of sliding in and out. This was easily sorted by a local trimmer who has worked wonders for me in the past, door cards are out and with him to refresh and recover dealing with some cuts, scrapes and extra large holes cut out for Grudig superwoofers or what ever the hell is in the car.
