Thanks to the heads up about progress threads 👍🏼

So far done since last week.

1. Heating control knob fixed.
2. Engine flushed then 6.5l 5w-40 with Liqui Moly CeraTec.
3. Coolant flush
4. Gearbox fluid renewed 75w-80 with Mo2 additive to help the 23 year old gears slide a bit easier.
5. Interior all thoroughly degunged and leather recoloured.
6. New gear knob and leather gators renewed with vast amounts of dubbin
7. Fitted a Blaupunkt Nürnberg stereo did a built in amp delete and installed new speakers.

Things to do next...

1. Front suspension leaking oil so need replacing. Going to replace entire front M Tech suspension and use some solid wishbone mounts.
2. Fix bodged door cards.
3. Remove sills and treat rust on the front edge behind front wheels.
4. Recharge A/X and pray that it's just empty.
5. Change differential Oil with some decent 75w-90 oil
6. Change hydraulic steering fluid.
