I really just want something that will work as a car for a while. I don't mind doing small jobs like rebuilding the steering box or rebuilding the suspension but I'm not up for another full on project at the moment. I haven't finished the last one yet!

As for deals in Germany - yeah in principle I might be able to save a couple of hundred euros on the purchase price; may be even a grand if I am really lucky but after time and travel and getting it transferred to Dutch papers it isn't really worth it for my cheap and cheerful budget.
