Pondered the downside of having more than one 75, along with a different daily driver.🤔

Looked at gold saloon- One I “saved” but currently off road, gathering petals in all orifices from overhanging hedge branches.
Need to rod plenum, get sill welded, sort out battery drain.😢

Looked at “Croft’s” silver tourer.
Not much to do other than clean the inside. 😀
A set of rear springs & dampers, although not required yet, would probably make it nicer to drive in the twisty corners.😞

Looked at silver saloon, also currently off road.
Hasnt moved in months, as it’s a winter hack.
Will need to remove & charge battery - fine...should have disconnected the battery when I parked it up.🙄
A replacement drivers seat with good bolster wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Thoughts of a new clutch, slave and master cylinder are also looming, as all still original at 120k ish.😓

Drove marmite.
Need to sort out exhaust resonance issue. 😞
Would also like to replace front springs and dampers, (currently a non-diesel set up) to something a bit more forgiving, and raised up a bit.

Too much procrastination done for one day, so just took marmite out for a few local spins. 😄

Haven’t much time to do anything else at the moment, but a few decisions to be made in the future, methinks. 🙄
