Hi,
I picked up a beautiful dark metallic blue T-bar at the weekend.
I've had quite a few MR2's in the past. Mostly Mk2 (both NA and Turbo) and this is my 4th Mk1. I haven't had a 2 for about 5years and Mk1 for even longer!
We've moved and I now have a garage so thought it was time to put something in it so a Mk1 was the natural choice (its not a huge garage!).
I got it for a bargain considering its condition. The bodywork is quite impressive, theres a few imperfections but you have to look hard. The arches are all amazingly rust free. She has had 2 spots of welding in the past but has been fully undersealed and ill have another go at this myself just to be sure.
Totally standard and the black leather interior is in time-warp condition.
She does have a couple of little things which need addressing:
- Coolant reservoir cap has gone brittle and needs replacing
- warm idle sits a little high. Between 1000-1100rpm.
- Clutch is high. I hope this can be resolved by adjusting it rather than needing a new clutch! It doesn't slip under load.
Anyway, shes all parked up in the garage waiting for a nice weekend.
Im not sure how to upload pics but any help (including to any of the above issues) is gratefully received.
Cheers
Ben
