Hey Trev appreciate the input mate (definitely don't be sorry!)
You're absolutely right too. I've been looking for an EK for a LONG time now, and always wanted one I could actually drive and enjoy, not something that just sat in the shed for years that I could quite possibly lose interest in...
Right now you can't keep me outta the thing! I'm taking her to the shops, doing the work run once a week and driving it just for the sake of driving it (because I can!)
The current plan is: Drive her as much as I can, while I can, and while the weather is decent. I've got a big rare spares order to get in and in a few months I'm gonna pull all the chrome off and send it off for re-plating (maybe over winter!). When I get it back I'll probably put it all back on with some of the repro bits and continue driving...
That's all of this year and maybe even half of next year gone.
Next step will be paint and panel. Like I said, early days, but I'm pretty fussy and want to make sure I find the right people to do the work (and get an idea of the $$ I'm up for so I can plan/budget accordingly). I also need advice on a couple of panels etc so I know if I really need to search for replacements or work with what I've got....
To keep the ball rolling, I might even try and capture the true condition of her in some photos and post them in this thread....
Cheers again and sorry for the ramble... Stu.
