Love at first sight for me & allegedly the first peek of daylight since 1986 for the Pagoda.

Seems to be 'all there'
Will take a bit of tinkering to get it going after a 1/4 century!
Enjoy!!

Yes, you always worry about what you are going to find but I think all the bits are there- came with spare 'new' exhaust and the odd replacement panel (still wrapped in brown paper from '86). 

We have begun stripping and catalogging the interior - couldn't resist giving the seats a quick wipe with some leather cleaner to see what they would look like under the dust  mould and I think they will be ok.

Very impressive how nicely the seats turned out.

The usual request applies - keep taking and posting pictures!!

Thank you. Will keep posting the pictures here- the friend who found the Pagoda for me and is helping me get it back on the road is even more excited.  He is posting additional pictures on http://www.flickr.com/photos/projectpagoda
