That appears to have sat around for a while.
I'd there a back story to you owning it?

And good luck 🤞 👍

Hello there Suliman and welcome to the forum, great to have you on board.

Lovely old gal you have there and good for you for taking her on, first thing though, how can you be sure she is black? Second thing, my recommendation would be to get one or two of these on the outside, they are supposed to work wonders according to the adverts ...

Greetings Suliman, and welcome to the group from me - I also love those coupe's and admire you for taking it on, i believe that they are fairly bullet proof and it looks like it has been stored in a relatively dry place, which is a massive bonus!
 
Thanks for all the replys really appreciate it. Bought the car around 3 years ago and it's been sat in dry storage since. Started it the other day and it started straight away. I didn't drive it due to the puddle of transmission fluid underneath the car.
