You have got to be prepared to travel distances when looking to buy a classic car . They rarely appear on your doorstep , so get out there once Covid travel restrictions are lifted and start looking at cars . I get the impression that you are in the south coast area somewhere , so about 150 miles ish to EMC I guess . I drove a 260 mile round trip twice for my C3 .
Mouse update , after sucessfully banquetting on mature cheddar and peanut butter, both of which he skilfully extricated from the traps without tripping any of them, young mickey made the fatal error of returning to the scene of the crime , sniffing around one of the empty but still set traps he was despatched in a rather brutal fashionPeppermint oil, hadnt heard of thatJust had a seat belt chewed by the mouse resident in my van , thats a deffo mot failure next week, belts not cheap either. 3 traps in there now , I had left a sacrificisl apple and a caramel wafer in there too to protect my seats

. Mind you , I have been waging war with the little critters for over a year now as they get into the shed and chew my fishing kit . I permanently have peanut butter baited traps set up and have caught at least a dozen of the buggers but they still keep coming 
Thanks!That `s one real purdy looking car
Haha I told myself several years ago to never buy a black car again... d'oh!Like Mick says, that needs a clean!
The door spring is pretty easy, f you get the tool. I got both springs and the tool from Scott at Corvette Kingdom. You do need to be sure you get the spring fully located - there is chat "on t'web" that they are too long, but you may find that it just needs to be properly slotted in. Then, just lever it around and tap it home. It took me all of ten minutes I think - plenty of time left afterwards for more polishing!
Aaw ! Poor little Mickey , mouse lives matter you know
No bad thing junking the notoriously niggly vacuum system . I have rebuilt my vac system due to leaks and split actuator seals etc . They are still lazy though and one always comes up a bit before the other . As the nacelle mounted lights were used on racing C3`s I have often thought it would suite mine with its wide body and aero conversions .
And guess what Roscob ? All the black cars I referred to , were or still are metallic
