what ever happened to the "buy it strip it clean it put it back together and see if you can drive it attitude", when I first bought a Ruby in 1971 thats what I did there was no spares chain ,there were none in the scrap yards in the south Wales valley where I lived in fact I was innocent enough to believe that I had made a great discovery , I could not afford to pay anyone to do anything for me .it was a learn how to do everything myself ,my attitude back then as now was the people who painted it or did the trim or wired it were just like me with two arms and legs and a brain so with the enthusiasm of youth and blind faith in my about to be aquired skills got stuck in and six months latter got it MOTd and I know that that car is still around today. surely I was not the only one back then with that attitude that is how most of us who started to save cars were all of the same mind .best regard to all Rob,
