Wow, I have never used a forum before and all the warm welcomes are a nice surprise. If I do my talking in the wrong place someone please kick me into the right direction.
Jim, I don't know of any relatives in Canada. Could be wrong though, it is a small world.
Judging from the all the old documents in the glove box she was last insured and inspected in 2010.
On with the story. She has 100k on the clock, I drove it about 300 kilometres home and it ran great when I could keep it between the lines. Wishbone bushings on order, and rocking chair seat bushings on order too. I spent the day yesterday going over it and only found one issue that really concerns me. I drained the engine oil and it looked like I was draining oil from a diesel. No signs of water or other contaminants but it sure was black. As there are no other issues with the engine I am trying to think of some way to flush her insides before putting new oil in. Any thoughts on that would be much appreciated. Back in the old days we would have poured in a quart of kerosene and drove it for awhile but I don't think that is such a good idea now a days.
Right now she is up on the lift with all her shoes off, and they were a real pain to get off. I'll post some pictures the next time she is on the ground.

from me to here in Mansfield England from another 2.8 owner. Your seat bushes are available from aceman on here. I'm sure he'll be along shortly to let you know what's what with those.
