Love this car. Can't even hide my jealousy...
I know that seems like quite a bit mate, but it's not that bad at all. Tax and MOT are necessary evils obviously...
Wishbones are around half hour a side and I just bought a pair for £33 each. Brakes I bought from eBay, Mintex all round for £99 delivered next day, and again easy and quick. Oil and filter I just picked up for £19 for fully synth. 2L of gear oil was £12 I think when I did my gearbox. Then with the HG (didn't know that!) I'd be inclined to just change the rad (even if it's a used one to save moolah), fresh coolant obviously, and make sure it's all bled. Then see how she goes, might not even be head gasket!
Get some pics up anyway and show off one of the nicest cars on the forum!
