There are some niggly bits like the hazard swith works but with a little help and the sunroof lifts up but not open the other way...

She could also do with a good drive! In terms of body work there could be some touch ups which will be done...

Oooohhh she comes with power steering!!!

What's wrong with sunroof? There's a point that you have to click past when you turn the handle or is it more serious than that?

I think its more serious than that, as it wont let you turn after it hasclicked. And if you look at the sunroof at the point where the handle will go no further, one side of its gone in, as then it sits at an angle?

Snapped cable maybe? Still looks like a cracking little motor though.

Body work is like some mysterious black art to me but bound to be someone who'll advise. You tube might have some tips?
