Finally got photobucket to work a bit faster so here are some of the pics of the new aquisition. Quite a few pics actually!
Filled up here just out of Bristol
This was in the car park!

Few pics of the blemishes found

Stayed here the night with an old friend (very posh)

Then continued with the drive up to Scotland, finally arriving at my Son's cottage

Used her for the rest of our time there once the leak of pipes had been replaced, decided to power wash and this was the result.
What the pics don't show is the amount of top coat that came off as well! :'(
:( >:(
Then off to the unit where she will stay until either me or SWMBO needs her. Sharing this space with these

Oh yeah and the storage is free! The chap that owns it is, as you can see a bit of a car nut and is more than willing to allow me the use of any and all tools (bonus) should I need them. :y

Only a couple of small niggles to sort out but I can take my time over them!

Cheers

Jon

interesting pictures.. lovely garage.. :y

not sure it will be economical but if you want to keep this car you need to clear all its paint until bare metal, sand all those rusts (before it eats the car) , and have a proper paint job :-/

Yep, the chap that owns all the Healy's has a pet paint man, he will ask him to have a look and let me know...mate's rates of course!
I was intending to have the blemishes dealt with properly anyway but the bonnet is an added cost I could have done without and yes I do intend to keep the car, definatley a keeper, I've waited long enough to get hold of a good one.
