New fb owner in Oxford

Hello,
I bought my FB in feb, I tried to join forum then but didn't seem to be able to. All good now.
Car is totally standard, still has thermal reactor and 90K miles. Engine seems sweet, starts first click hot or cold.
Already rebuilt the wipers to free them up and added a NOS wiper motor, so they work great now.
Had a pre-lockdown trip to Australia and came back with all new ignition parts and a new inlet gasket and seals, so plan is a full engine service and replace the leaky inlet gasket.
Little but of bodywork tidying around the arches and passenger door lower, will be done with new metal not filler.
I originally bought the car just as a stop gap as a daily classic while I do some restoration on my early 911, but so far really enjoying it, so might be hard to get it away from me.
