Welcome to the world of money pits!
Looks a nice example, although I agree with most on the wheels, and lose the bonnet gaisers.

The engine being a heavy breather isn't a good thing in my experience mate.. would be a good idea to get the car checked over by someone who knows these cars.

Cheers,
Grant

The plate off the charge carrier holding down the oil cap! It's breathing heavy which means your engine is on it's way out!!

Before resigning yourself to engine failure make sure the oil cap is new and take a little time to ensure th ebreather pipes aren't gunked up

Personally id loose the wheels. Get standard side indicators and and fuel cap!

Definatly get your engine looked at by a specialist!

Looks clean tho, come up well with a good polish id say!

My advice would be to find out when the next local Passionford/RSOC meet is happening and take the car down so that some guys can take a look before you take it to a specialist and possibly have your pants pulled down. Plus, don't give the car a hard time until then either.

Cheers,
Grant
