My 1996 mx3 v6 1.8
-
The car came to me via my dad who had picked it up for 300 quid from a garage where it had been sat in the corner of the yard for months,sold to him as scrap lol a woman had traded it in cus she couldnt start it and the garage didnt have a clue!! once home it was discovered the small drainage hole in the dizzy cap was blocked and slightly cracked once glued and cleaned turned over straight away once again breathing life to this ole warhorse!! the car is in reasonably good condition even though has 160,000 on clock no rust on the body work etc infact the worst bits on this car is a slight oil leak at the front and the spots of tree sap that have become one with the paint work where it was left for months standing!!
all in all its a nice starting point for me to clean up and add some tasteful mods and keep me in the garage away from the missus lol!!!!! :lol:
jobs done so far:
cleaned and reprayed the fogs,replaced window switch,replaced arm rest,underbody and wheel arches been totally undesealed.wrapped thedown pipes,,surface rust and general engine tidy up,wiper arms cleaned and resprayed,seals round windows resealed.
