for a £100 and a weekend or two, you could get it up to scratch.
just do it all in one go. that's where i fucked up. mine had sat for about the same time. i drove until something went, then fixed it (although, if one part went, i replaced the whole lot - brake hoses, etc). i should have just gone through and changed EVERYTHING rubber and all of the consumables before even driving it. instead i would do one or two a payday, but they seemed to rack up quicker than i could cross them off the list. it just feels like the car is always broken down.
it also depends on how good the rest of the car is. you don't want to get the fucker FINALLY running well and reliably, only to have a respray as the next thing needed.
