Have now picked up a low mileage ea82 for a good price. I'll be swapping that in sometime over the next couple of weeks, then rebuilding the heads and doing gaskets on the original engine, which has now clicked over 445,000 kms!
Have also located a set of good seats, purchased some vinyl for the door trims and got a contact who can redo the headliner. The I just need to find a set of good alloy wheels, and repaint the bootlid and she's done!
Looking forward to getting my first (mild) restoration done.
