Thanks for the replies and its great to link up with some people who share the passion...I will keep mine pretty stock but loving it now it is neat and tidy again....it was a bit of a drag when it was tatty... but now plenty of reasons to smile...
I think I should buy spare doors and guards as they become available and stash them away in the roof as future insurance....especially doors as far eastern guards and bonnets (hoods to you people) are pretty available.
Would love to know if anybody knows about the tonneau in my last post...

Cheers
