We,ll have had the car for a few weeks and spent $30 bucks so far.not bad for a $400 car :) Guess we know what we are doing for the next few years.Plan to slowly but surely bring her back. Interior is near mint and all her shinny bits are intact, sooooo

That really is quite different, that thermostat housing looks unique to anything I've seen before, and if you need a gasket for it, looks like you'll have to make your own out of gasket paper.

Thanks all

Our plan is to restore over the next three years.We will try to do as much our selves I.E. right now I,m looking to do front brakes (need left/front break caliper)
and brake pads.Rear brake pads.
after that we will be doing all the front end bushings(I still havent sourced those ,so if anyone has one please let me know)
Great club :agree:

pity you are so far away. I could give you a brake caliper if the freight wasn't so expensive. (It'd save me taking it to the tip.)

It rained today and discovered that the fossil has 2 leaks :evil: a very small drip coming out at the lower/right hand side of dash, and a bigger one at where the right wheel well meets the floor pan.(very rusty in corner)probed it with a screw driver and is rusted through about 5mm. good news is the wipers work.the bad news is the window washer fluid pump is dead. anyone have a working one for sale,it just clips on to washer fluid resivior.

I might have one, but don't get your hopes up. For the cost of postage, you could buy one from another car and retrofit it.
