Engine is degreased, got a new rad, thermostat and fan (2 fins missing on fan and a small leak in the upper right corner of the rad and I wasn't convinced the thermostat was working) and will be nailing it all back fohefher when I get back off holiday. Debating as wether to put a new water pump on as everything else is being changed. Thanks for the advice, I should have news within the week. Originally bought it to sell on and make a few quid but it is just the best car ever and will be kept in my collection. I am mainly a motorcyclist but this car is so awesome it will stay with me forever!!
