So... I bought it. Needs a lot of TLC. looks to have been stood for a while. It still runs and drives and looks to have most of the original mods staccato had done to it over 5 years ago. Here it is in its prime.

The engine bay needs a lot of gunk and elbow grease but nothing too serious. The thermostat looks like it may have a leak but I haven't really tested anything yet. It managed the 60 mile trip down from uttoxeter ok. Yes even without an air filter.
All i'll do for now are the things that wont cost much whilst I work out if I can get some replacement panels economically. It needs a bonnet and grill obviously but I would probably want to replace both wings and the bumper. Headlights also aren't quite right so fettling required there to, will no more when the front ends off. Then if I can get it registered, Mot'd, VIC'd and insured I may drive it for a bit. But, juries still out. I didn't buy it as a quick flip but I know id get more for it in bits then if I was to get it anywhere near perfect. So need to make sure im not letting the heart rule my head so to speak.
