    First mr2

    Hi all
    Saying hi from north west England.
    Just bought a 1989 mk1 t bar for my partner and she loves it. It seems to be ok. No rust at all (been dry used only for years). Got receipts back to first purchase nod seems mechanically sound so far. Possibly got an intermittently sticking rear calliper but I've read that can be quite common, plus this has hardly been driven, so expecting a few issues over the next few weeks.

    No doubt I'll be asking some questions

    Thanks

    Paul and Chez

    Thanks guys. Unfortunately we have our kids that weekend so won't be able to tag along. Hopefully we can get on the next one though

    Thanks for the msgs and offers guys. As luck would have it, we got our kids on every occasion of the suggested meets! However, I'm sure we'll get down to something, maybe the meetings in Bill's signature.
    I don't know much about this car yet, so things like AW11 which I presume is the model number, is there an area on this forum I can read up the info etc?

    Thanks
