Thought I'd log on for a quick update.
I finally got the car into the superdetailing guy in Perth (young guy "finest1detailing") and he has done a terrific job bringing the paint back to life. A few panels must of has some new paint over the years...overall I'm quite pleased with it.
I've also replaced the belts, tensioner pulleys and the water pump with Volvo stuff (um $ ouch!), also had the air con regassed (had a win there works great) so now I'm just driving it around.
Few more things to do with tyres and suspension so ill start saving up...
