So. I've wanted one of these for longer than I can remember.
I've been looking for a little while and finally found a good enough one to commit to a purchase.
I've gone half's on it with a friend, who has also wanted one for years, to keep the cost down.
The rear load rack has already been removed.
Initial plans are to tidy it up a bit, Lower it on some decent wheels/tyres, and fit some creature comforts.
In the long term it will probably end up with an engine swap and totally sort the body but it's solid enough to not need the body work for a good few years yet.
Only got 72,000 on the clock. It was owned for most of its life by an old chap who just used it to run to the garden centre and pick up plants and stuff. There's a receipt for the cam belt change in 1998 at 60,000 miles which gives an idea how little it's been used!
I will try keep this thread updated if there is any interest?
