	So cool. Love the interior in these. You need to keep your eye on ebay for the polar ford bears they used to hand out with cars. He'd look pretty good on the dash.

	Even the head's clean! And there's next to no carbon build up on the pistons! And you're restoring it! I can see this ending well.

Yes just bringing it up to a nice standard, engine ran well but the oil was a little milky so decided while it was out to strip and clean, replace the head gasket etc, going to paint the bay, refurb the suspension/running gear etc

	Nice and original I like the mats, tyres, radio. Nice find. I had 1 of these about 15 years ago HFM38X which was stolen off the Mrs drive and never seen again. You seem to be doing a cracking job so far.

	Lovely find. I wish I could find something like that hidden away.
