Here we are again.

Been around 2 years since I owned this but I always said I'd want to own it again. So I bought it.

The rust has crept in on the surface of the arches and the vallence so plan to attack that with wet n dry and waxoil next weekend.
Have some ugly MX5 14s to go on for the time being, once Chris has been a gent and snagged them (many thanks chris).

Im gonna fit the deep dish 2 spoke wheel from the Pug.

Then some MK2 rear clusters (did you spot the mk3 ones? :lol: )

Then probly an engine swap and some Dai adjustables (the front bounces like a bouncy thing atm)

The pass side front wing is still damaged from where some tard bint drove into it. I have a replacement, which will be stickerbombed and fitted. Coz omg im so scene!

The (!) light on the dash is coming on under acceleration, John has diagnosed low brake fluid (leak?) so theres something to do asap. :roll:

Anyway: Pics!

Sounds like a leaky rear cyl bud, but check it's nothing more major. Still needs to be done though!

Looks really nice,those seats are imacculate.

I had the same problem with leaky brake cylinders, thought the warning light that came on only under acceleration was some form of primitive shift light. yours has one of those built in though.

Nowt worse than me I shouldn't have thunk. Did find a puberty hair on the rear view mirror. But that could have got there by some very innocent accident.

Nice one! I thought silver that 343 from Driffield was going to be yours, I must have missed something. Never seen green inside before!

Did'nt your GL used to be lowered all round?, is it still lower at the back?, but not the front?
