I might have a change of heart further down the line but for now I plan to run it and leave it.
Depends how long you plan on keeping the car really? If it's a short termer then fair enough the finances don't make sense if your that way inclined. If its a keeper for at least a few years then go for it. They have started to creep in price already for good clean cars so a few years your costs should easily be outweighed.

See if that was the case then great.

Mine needs Axle, bonnet, drivers wing, standard exhaust, boot carpet, parcel shelf and rear wiper.

Then I would need to give the engine a good service and replace the gaskets on the rocker covers to stop leaking. I'll see what happens.

I'm going on holiday next year to Florida for 3 weeks which is bloody expensive so spending money is not something I can do until after then.

Might wait till MOT in October and possibly garage it.
