Hey guys here's my car! It's a mk1 facelift cabriolet, 02 plate 51000 miles 1.6 Great little runner for its age, had a few niggles with it so far, first being an engine light coming on about 8 times which sorted itself after putting petrol in, and the being a bus scraping the entire side of it! But a bit of hard grafting, cleaning polishing, etc I got it back to its glory! My next job is to de rust the passenger wheel arch, get a new rear window and alloys, and a champagne gold respray on the details (chrome parts etc)
Got some M3 mirrors which I haven't put on yet due to not knowing what wire goes where lol Car as it stands Sorry tapatalk only let's me add 5 attachments
Got these alloys today! Also turned the ignition off halfway through putting the roof up, F**K! Need to reset the locking mechanism and not sure how to do that!
These roofs are a pain in the ass!!! In the boot, left hand side behind the trim you will find the mechanism. Twist the manual pressure release valve so it's open and then gently press down. If it doesn't work do not force it
Sorted it, took 2 hours and a lot of cursing, I had the roof cover mechanism jammed halfway when I cut the power, managed to sort by having the roof lid half closed and reset the manual strap Alloys go on tomorrow!!
Never got round to uploading my alloys! So here you go! And then for that extra hint of geek! Went to get my air con re gassed and turns out that the pipe is snapping at the top, are these pipes easy to fit? Not sure how to go about this one or whether I could seal it up at all?
