There is a site that has a Buyers guide.  www.cabby-info.com

 

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

93mk1 troubles?

Roof….. Roof and Roof.
One of the most expensive things to replace properly inc headliner,  interliner and the padding.
Plus the rusty rear window frames.

Check for leaks on the hydraulic roof system.
Often joints leak and there's a common issue of the reservoir cracking around the mounting bolts.

How did it go. Done a 380 mile round trip yesterday to look at one. The man was addiment that it was worth no less than 4.5k due to it being most part restored. I got there and well B&Q have got less filler than his car had. It has just had the rust blown over wasn't impressed 7hours in the car in all to look at it for less than 5 mins. Hey ho onto the next one.

May l suggest you have us take a look in a forum sense next time.
Might just save a lot of time, money and aggravation.

We'll give you an honest unbiased opinion based on the pictures and information you can give up.  :thumbs:
(even then it's our rough opinion and no a guarantee)

We do it fairly often and I've never known of a case of another member nicking a car from under someone!  ;)

Good luck with the search and don't worry you'll find the right one or should I say, he'll find you.  :)
