Thanks for the tips, thats exactly what i'm after to be honest. I love the extra feel that older cars have, haven't driven anything with electric anything since I started driving and its so much better.

Body work could be an issue in that case, I do live by the coast so that will take its toll on it and the garage has our old Triumph in it so that means its going to have to live outside. I had planned to keep it waxed and wash it weekly to try and help it. Any idea when Ford did start galvanising their cars? I'd love to know if my fiesta was, because thats deteriorating :/

Thanks again!
