Was a little nervous when I went to get her this morning as while it isn;t an extortionate amount of money to risk, it would still hurt some. Having got her home, cleaned up, washed and checked oil, water, fluids, etc, new battery and checked what I could, I started her up and it was the sweetest sound. Drove her up and down the rear lane of my house a few times.
It's a decent car (keep reminding the war room that it's 45 years old ) with some interesting panel alignment, will need a new top in a year or two but is fine for now.
Plan is to get her licensed, convert to front disc brakes in 6 months or so, next winter will refresh the engine and gearbox, but drive the wheels off her in the meantime.
She was named LulaMae by my 5 year old daughter and it seems to have stuck.
Here's a picture of what she looked like before she migrated. Pretty much the same now.
Today, you couldn't punch the smile of my face.
