Quick update. New battery was fitted but due to machinations of dvla, car still not on its original plates nor is it taxed so it's been unused. Radiator is next on list then I will get courier organised for stu"s kindly offered exhaust. Have had no time and was getting a bit down with my lack of progress but hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel...and it's not a train! Have a great weekend all, Gbn
