Thanks everybody,just got home and got it unloaded,drove it round the block and I can already foresee it needs some new bushes on the back,the teaching done and possibly a steering rack plus some other niggles sorted but my friend has a breaker 16i I can get what I need off of so it's no great hassle.
Maxest,I think I looked at your graphite grey shell with a friend a few years back,I had just bought a mk1 Orion that day and was heading back north.loved the colour since then.
Previous owner has done all the hard work,just needs a few little jobs doing and a set of standard wheels,keeping the d4's on the original wheels as they are nice to have.
