Two improvements to the car this weekend - a "new" (secondhand) replacement for the dying battery, and a "new" (really new) seatbelt for the driver.
The seatbelt still needs some finishing-off (one of the securing bolts isn't quite long enough to be ideal) but the battery seems to do the trick - car started first time on a cold November evening, which was quite a thing!
Admittedly, the "old" battery looks like it might be the original one from 1985...
Apart from that, I still have not checked if the 4wd transmission works properly, I guess I will do that one night this week. The car is also going down to SW Autos again this week to have the track rod ends repaired, the oil changed, and another look at the suspension. All good fun.
