Bulkhead has been rather crudely repaired, which probably means it's
buggered where you can't easily see - seller makes no mention of the repair.
interior seats are hardly a major selling point... the overdrive if good
and working is a bonus though. not sure the K&N filter is worth making much
fuss about.
the 20p hole is, from the looks of things, in the door post not the bulkhead
- that bulkhead looks iffy though - usual approach by the inept of making
little patches to cover the visible hole.
considering that, I reckon it's overpriced, notwithstanding the overdrive -
a bulkhead replacement is a big and expensive/difficult job, and once you
get to the stage of patching 'em...
