Thanks for the messages everybody.
Right just to bring the thread upto date. I have been doing afew things on the car when money allows, I removed the old rotten fuel tank, cleaned and painted the underside of the floor, Ive only give it a quick doing as i want to get the car on the road this year. Once winter comes I will strip the underside of the car and paint the floor properly. I have painted a new tank in Bmw mini Grey. i will use this color throughout the car as and when i overhaul parts like the back axle or running gear etc. once i had put the car back together i decided to run the car in for an MOT just so i had a list of what is needed to get her on the road. To my supprise and bearing in mind the car hasnt been on the road since 2009 all she needs is an ABS sensor as the lights on, a set of front brake pads which im going to replace with a full set of disc's and pads all round anyway, an indicator bulb and a cat as the car has a full stainless on her. All in all i was dead chuffed to hear that
Now on a negative side i think the head gasket is on its way out because even though the car starts and ticks over great, even revs great there is water in the oil and the header tank is loosing its level. A further investigation is needed but im just happy to carry on down my list replacing or repairing as I go.
Right, enough from me, its time to let the pictures do the talking.
Thanks
Andrew
