I decided I would like to see what the paintwork would come up like and decide wether to have a total respray or not, NOT is definately the answer to that one
after four hours of cutting,buffing and polishing it now looks like this....
The N/S rear door needs attention at the bottom and the N/S front arch needs a bit too, and thats about it
The list of things to do up to now is....
Windscreen.
Exhaust.
New Clutch quadrant.
Sort the steering (very heavy and no self centering, possibly just the tracking)
Mak a new gear stick (its way too far back for me!)
Make a custom air box/filter as it dont have one.
Sort the headlights and grill.
New Clear front indicators.
New N/S side repeater.
Fix the fuel and temp gauges.
Make new seat bases and install Recaro seats.
Then get the painting sorted.
And I'll see where it goes from there..
I'll try to remember to update as I do stuff
Rover.
wow mate, that's come up well 
look forward to reading about this one too 
all sorted now though, the water temp gauge is next to wire up, the tiny little rev counter seems to work though
