Looks in great condition too.
I wonder what the history of the white painted roof is? Maybe a previous owner liked the look of the vinyl roof option?
Thanks!!
One of the first things I noticed was it was resprayed, so I asked him when it was done. He told me he had done it 15 years ago, and they (as above) like the look of the vinyl roof.
I took it to my mechanic today to get him to look over it and see what needs doing soon.
Needs:
Front Shocks
Brake lines are deteriorating
Rear Wheel cylinders are leaking, but brake shoes are fine
Doesn't need bushes but, I think I'll do them anyway. I want to put Kings lows in it, so I'll try doing it all at once.

I'll drop it to a Panel Beater hopefully tomorrow and get them to have a look at the bit of rust which is around the bottom of the rear windscreen and see what they think. I'd like to do it myself, mainly for the learning curve, but I want it done right. ah the dilemma.
thanks for the kind words guys, I'll get a Photobucket up eventually and get a build thread up once I've decided on the path.
