Little update today. Car is running well these days. Only item that's been getting worse was slow turn over on the starter when warm.
I had a spare starter that came with the car so I thought maybe it's time to replace it.
First of all I tested that it was indeed the starter by using a jumper cable to the output of the solenoid. Motor was still slow. Not a resistance in the solenoid then.
I drive the car onto ramps and chock the wheels. Start to loosen the positive cable terminal on the back of the inertia starter. It's then that I notice the nut between the cable and the motor housing is loose. I removed the cable and tightened up the nut. Reconnected and turned her over. Success! For once I didn't have to swap something.
