Hi Everyone.
My name is Colin and i have recently become the proud owner of F Reg mk1 mr2 i am looking to keep the car in as standard as possible condition how ever i have joined this forum to get some advice from experts who dont want my money.
So the car...its a red t bar mk1 which is in realy good condition it has a 10 month mot and no real visible rust the roof leaks a bit but it will spend most of its time in the garage so im not that worried about that. It has an mot advisory for sub-frame rust so my first mission is to find a garage in hampshire as local to tidworth as possible to get the under-side looked at and any work done to prolong the cars life. I have had the car machine polished by a proffessional just to restore the paint and that had a dramatic effect and ill try and post some before and after pics as i get to know the site better. There are afew other advisorys on the mot but nothing to panic about. My next mission is to sort out some sort of sound system with-out cutting up the car which is looking like a bit of a nightmare but im sure loads of people have been here before me and there must some experts out there......The car is lovely but needs some little touches i intend on having the car for a long time so im planning on taking good care of it so any tips or advise on were to start will be more than welcome ive already started by replacing mats wipers and some of the damaged leather parts ie gear gator etc. Im also looking for a new steering wheel. Its a real beut pics to follow......
Cheers Colin... :wave:
