Hi guys. My user name is Jezza,and live in Herfordshire,near London,England. I have owned my 78 Skyhawk since 1985. It used to be my everyday car but trashed it and it sat in the garage for many years. I then rebuilt the engine , brakes etc and used for a couple of years. Now has not been on the road since 1996 due to wife,baby's ,work etc. I consider the condition good considering its year, with original black paintwork ,Co6 Astroroof and all original interior. The bodywork is rust free except for the rear pillars which I repaired years ago, but have started to "bubble" again. I noticed today that the plastic trim around inside windscreen is disintegrating at the bottom and various other places. I have have been inspired by the H body forum, to get it back on the road. Not sure of its value in the UK(Is it the only one?!!!) Parts are very scarce in England and from US the postage and import cost more than the part. It would be great to know any other H body owners in the UK or Europe.
Regards.
Jezza.
