Hi John, welcome to the Club. Glad you found us :D

When you say sorry state I guess you mean rust ..... right? Does it need saving? :P

John, don't worry about fixing it up like new, just get it functioning as Soichiro intended, and make your own mark(bodges) on it! :D

Oh yes, that's the look 8-)

Half of those mint ones when seen in the flesh are not so mint really, internet low res plays tricks like that. As newt says, if mechanically good the rest is cosmetic ........ though I do prefer a seat without rips .... or it'sa damp bum all the time.
