New very late Cabriolet owner

Hi all,

My name is Andrew, i'm from Leamington Spa in the Midlands and i've just bought a Mk1 Cabriolet. I'm looking to bring it back up to standard, as it looks to have taken a bit of a beating in recent times.

The car is a 92 on a J plate, and has the 1.6 carb motor. I've also got a Mk3 on a J plate, which looks a bit wrong when they are sitting next to each other!



Cheers!

Hi welcome along what you need to do your car?

Hi Scott,

It's generally just tidying up previous owners' modifications, with a few age-related repairs.

Of course the car needs a good service first of all. I've also got to remove a malfunctioning alarm/immobiliser, remove the dangerously dark tints and re-tap a wheel bolt thread in the rear drum. I'd also like to get it sitting level on its suspension, rather than looking like it has a heavy load in the boot!

The first part i'm currently looking for is a pair of window winders for the rear 1/4 windows - they have both snapped off!

Welcome to the forum mate,

Yes welcome mate, keep the pictures coming and create yourself a 'build thread' so that you can always add to it and we can all watch as the 'project' grows!  

Will be a 1.8 on a j plate. 

I have all the parts you'll ever need in stock, just drop me a privat topic. 

welcome to the loony bin, nice looking cabby mate
       

Nice.... looks like a good little project

Thanks all, i'll get a project thread on the go!
