Thank you all so much!
I shall post some pictures of my car so you can see what needs doing.
All advice and any pictures from your own experiences will be greatly appreciated.
My car is fairly sound with the only rust being the bottom of the spare wheel housing, the bottom plates beneath the floor/sill area (anybody got a pattern for these?) and a couple of spots in the rear wheel arch. The engine is blown (frost cracked due to some less than expert attention. I hasten to add, not the former owner but a tradesperson!) and I have a new one in a crate ready to go in. the gearbox is also out and will be replaced with a new one. all to original spec. trim is not bad, and all the leather is good.
so, it might see the road in 2014.
cheers!
