Hello and welcome aboard......sounds like a plan, good luck with the search.  There are still a few cheaper ones floating about.  Finding a cheap rot free one is getting challenging as people are putting the prices up (understandably, as they are getting rarer).

Any injection model makes life a wee bit easier , its all down to if you prefer hatch or saloon :)

An injection model would be easier, You wouldn't have to swap out the petrol tank and pump then and you would get the longer front arms. 84-88 models have the brake servo on the drivers side so do away with the linkages which will give a better pedal.
