First things first, great find for so cheap. My list in order would be: 1.) Clean out interior. I'm talking remove all junk, vacuum, shampoo, wipe down, clean it all deep and well. Throw away the black ice Little Tree for the love of all that is holy. 2.) Give exterior a good hose down, see if any leaks are present(doubtful but never know). 3.) Pass MOT. I'm not too familiar with it, but I'm assuming it must meet emissions, tires, lights, fluids, filters, wipers, horn etc. Getting it to pass MOT alone will get you a trust worthy vehicle and knock out anything else on this list as far as drivability. 4.) Repair rust areas. 5.) Convert back to good old gasoline( petrol ;) ) As far as wheels, it has 1 original, the right rear. Keep them, put new rubber on. Sell the others and put proceeds towards laundry list. Goodluck, stay patient, L322 is a great car. They just need a lot of love! But not as much as some others.
