Sounds great! I have . had a few 'project' cars over the years and decided to spend the money up front this time - good nick ex RAF defender. Love it! However I still have a list of jobs to do for sure! Its a great learning experience and a lot of fun. I would very seriously however add to the list some good security and many layers of it. Sad though it is you have to be so careful these days. Good pedal lock as a bare minimum. I have deadlocks as well as the alarm (which is fairly useless) and a few other secret bits!
Good luck!
