What a drive indeed!! but like you say steve it was worth it, and once again Steve thanks for taking me down mate, much appreciated.
Well I picked her up Yesterday and she drives lovely, no problems at all. Got her for £550 in the end as the mirrors don't work (the switch) and the rear o/s/p window dosent work either (possibly cable). A bit of bodywork needs doing, both rear doors by the window, new Bonnet as the front of the bonnet is to corroded to repair and the rear tailgate needs some attention but all in all nad a bad car. Gearboa nice and smooth, transfer box good engine good no noises at all and rear diff no whining.
