well they do em in yellow AJ so thats a good start!!
jokes apart I helped my m8 restore a mk3 spitty in the middle 90's, there easy to work on, as long as you get a relatively rust free one you will be fine.
parts are very easy to get for most models apart from the mk1/2 as there is a huge network of specialist that remanufacture those all important parts unlike fords lol
