Cheers guys, A guy I know who owns the blue tintop LJ that was In TOR had it on eBay so I spoke to my dad and he agreed to lend me the cash for it as he used to have a tin top LJ when I was younger and he knows how much I have wanted one for years :hands: thanks Dad :mrgreen:

It is very rotton, will get some close up pics but it is not too far gone to be repaired IMO

The plan is to fully restore it as close to stock as I can, no lift, front disc brake conversion, make a hard top for it and perhaps an engine upgrade? Swift gti maybe? But any mods done will be 100% bolt on and reversible. I want it as a cheap to run daily drive :screwy: that might occasionally see some gentle green laning.

More like filtering through hands like picking up sand!
