Newbie / Oldie West Sussex

Newbie but retired so Newbie / Oldie
Just acquired a 1996 MX 3 the 1.6 version
Lots spent on it over last few years
Got to sort brakes and fit some alloys ive got as tyres getting past there time and a drivers window switch if i can source one
So far after four days well impressed with it for pocket money prices compared to a normal car
Struggle to get in ( thats my age ) but wife seems to like ( tolerate ) it so all good.
Did a run to Southampton prior to brake pad problem ( cheapos fitted by garage 10 months ago ) have come apart luckily as i got home but performed very well for a car of its age
Great retirement project

] Turned out failure of rear drivers side brakes was due to new discs and pads fitted by a garage but no copperseal used hence ten months down the line brake pads stuck on and burnt away / so much for competent garages
