Hi all, long time lurker first time poster here :P
Here's my MR, an '89 NA, 128k miles (ish).
Bought it a year and a half ago now, had a low(er) mileage 'box, new clutch, recon steering rack, new front shocks and drop links, discs and pads, cam/alternator belts, a nicer condition steering wheel (mine was sunbleached yellow...) and had a rear arch repaired (other one looks to have been done very well previously).
Non-standard bits are a nice set of 14" TOM'S Igetas that I bought from a lad on Driftworks and had acid dipped and powdercoated satin gold, a used but good condition Scorpion s/s backbox, square front numberplate that I've mounted off-centre, VW-style stubby aerial, some aftermarket replacements for the 4 cabin speakers, and the "manual" choke mod.
But you don't care about that, have some photo's! :D
When I got it:

A lot more info and pictures on my retro-rides blog here (http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=42164&page=1), I'm going to make a build thread here at some point to echo it, but in the meantime check it out if you like :)
