Read my mind. I saw the add couple of days ago and same said items stopped me looking any further. Shame as I missed the engine goodies.

Having said that anything you do to this lovely old girls engine wise will still be far off most even average post 2000 stuff.

Make it look pretty and ride it .... past a mirror!
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....
