Thanks heaps for the info! - If I have a chance I'll ring around Claridge and see if I can put my detective skills to work (honed after years of watching repeats of 'the Bill').
As for plans, it's early days, but I'm not planning to do any major modifications - I'm leaving the 13" wheels on there as I reckon they look better and give the car a more aggressive stance than the stock 12" rims. But initial plans are: - Rear window venitian - Interior needs a damn good scrub and new carpet, maybe some reclining seats retrimmed to match - Some sort of stereo so that I can get down with James Brown - although I can't bring myself to pull out the original AM pushbutton radio, so the new deck will have to be hidden away somewhere else. - Centre console, dash clock, soundproofing and any other original interior niknaks I can scrounge. - General repainting and tidy up in the engine bay - New front guards and a respray in the same colour, vinyl roof will stay as is.
I've just had the brakes fixed and next week she's going in for a tune - seems to be running rough on choke and at startup, but is magic when warmed up, so probably just some adjustment in the carby and timing.
Scott: I'm in Coro Valley - work is a bit mental at the moment so if I don't catchya in the meantime I'll hopefully see you at the cruise or soon after.
