Hi from Basingstoke with pics

Hi again everyone joined here a month or so ago well finally got myself a MK1 cabrio. think it was a good buy too. Saw it on ebay i was the only bidder so got it for £650 years mot. Mind it was in the back of the blokes garage covered in dust and overspray where he does motorbikes up. Got it home cleaned her up and looks so good. Taxed it today so hapy days!!!.
First job is roof which should hopefuly be done next week.
anyway here are the pics, what do you think?

Hi welcome to the forum
Cabby looks good well worth what you payed for it if its as good as the pics suggest.

Cheers for the comment
Yeah it really suprised me when he took it out of the garage, it has 3 small bits of rust 1 by pasanger door handle and the other on the back apart from that just the normal wear for a 22yr old car.

looks like a steel for that money, well done, and welcome to the site :-)

thanks richyhill i thought it was a good buy and after driving all week i know it was. just ordered my new roof being fitted next friday
