Hi all!
I am now the proud owner of a beautiful 1989 toyota super red mk1 with sunroof! She's in great condition and as soon as the insurance comes through she'll be gracing the north antrim coast roads 8-)
Does anyone have any recommendations on the best workshop manual to buy?

Cheers,
Dan

Hi and congrats on your purchase.
post some pics soon :+:

you can get a haynes from ebay, but best get the online/cd manual known as the BGB (big green book)
don't pay for it as it can be found for free on a download or cd format.

That appears to be one of the rare red ones (as opposed to faded to pink).

Looks very shiny and in excellent condition :+: Nice car!

Hi nice of you to have found us, but i'm afraid you're not allowed to join our club. You car has far too little rust, and the engine bay lacks splatterings of various engine fluids. It's also red, not faded pink.

Hehe!

Welcome to the club :wave:

Haha yea I feel pretty fortunate to have found one in such good nick! Though I must confess the pictures were taken just after a polish and a wax, otherwise the paintwork is rather 'pink' in places ;) , but hey you can't have it all!


Is that a resto mini in the garage too? :+:

Yes it is. It's a '92 Sprite (I think) which belongs to my wee bro. There's also the back half of a mini mayfair, a disassembled GTM kit car and about 4 stripped down A series engines in there :roll:
A lot of competition for garage space!

Just like to say how impressed I am with the site and how friendly and helpful it is :clap:
Keep up the good work :+:

Mine looks similar to his, but the engine bay is a bit splattered on mine.

That does look good in that photo though ;)
