    I've got one!

    Hi all!
    I am now the proud owner of a beautiful 1989 toyota super red mk1 with sunroof! She's in great condition and as soon as the insurance comes through she'll be gracing the north antrim coast roads
    Does anyone have any recommendations on the best workshop manual to buy?

    Cheers,
    Dan

    Hi and congrats on your purchase.
    post some pics soon

    you can get a haynes from ebay, but best get the online/cd manual known as the BGB (big green book)
    don't pay for it as it can be found for free on a download or cd format.

    That appears to be one of the rare red ones (as opposed to faded to pink).

    Looks very shiny and in excellent condition Nice car!

    I see you have found the area meets section for Ireland & N.Ire

    Is that a resto mini in the garage too?

    Hi nice of you to have found us, but i'm afraid you're not allowed to join our club. You car has far too little rust, and the engine bay lacks splatterings of various engine fluids. It's also red, not faded pink.

    Hehe!

    Haha yea I feel pretty fortunate to have found one in such good nick! Though I must confess the pictures were taken just after a polish and a wax, otherwise the paintwork is rather 'pink' in places , but hey you can't have it all!

    Yes it is. It's a '92 Sprite (I think) which belongs to my wee bro. There's also the back half of a mini mayfair, a disassembled GTM kit car and about 4 stripped down A series engines in there
    A lot of competition for garage space!

    Just like to say how impressed I am with the site and how friendly and helpful it is
    Keep up the good work
