Well double thumbs up Jim. 17 years on and that electric seat still works fine! Probally not used all that often, unlike the drivers door handle and blinker stalk which have carked it. And ain't those generic parts crap..you got to file em down to make em fit!
My first car was a VT II, and I loved that thing. Same problems as you, the bloody blinker stalk and door handles went.
The real problem was I was driving around with 2 engine mount bolts sheared clean off for 2+ years, so just had 1 holding the block up apparently. Could have gone at any time. Then the brake lines got a contaminant in them and the whole brake system seized up. And I went through 3 radiator bottles in 6 years. Eventually there was a problem with the thermostat and I cooked the engine.
The transmission was a sorry state of affairs but I was totally honest about it. The guys around here seem to be able to fix anything. The guy who bought it was madly in-love with it but didn't have a license or rego andgot caught driving it 200m.. It got on-sold again. There were quite a few interesteds.
The transmission was the only problem - apart from the ceiling cloth
