Re: Who Are You And Where Are You
Hi I am Dean from York, new to the club and a complete novice. I bought a not so bright red rev3 last month for my 40th. When I was a wee boy I always wanted one and never quite got round to owning one so now they are becoming popular again (a future classic so people keep telling me?) I took the plunge and bought one. Looked at at few and got one for the right price (£1500). Its done 117k and is UK spec. Had a few surprises since owning it but I guess thats to be expected for a 19 year old car. Issues so far are:
-Stereo had been replaced by after market so took it all apart, found the wiring had been terribly butchered and original speakers have pretty much had it so uprgraded all speakers including tweeters and installed a pioneer double din unit. Had a but of a mission to get it in the space but after alot of grinding and filing it looks and sound great now.
-Red paint covered by horrible red polish! After a week of owning it it started to turn a horrible misty pink colour! I panicked and thought oh on what have I bought? Thankfully I had the sense to T-cut and polish the bonnet and what a transformation! Done rest of car now and thankfully the paint isn't any where near as bad as it looked and it's now a lovely red.
-Rust! 2 bits on either side of top of windscreen. If anyone knows some body who could do a smart repair please let me know? The sills between the wheels are now bubbling so I am planning to get it up off the floor today to inspect it and see if it's only superficial. If it is the I plan to strip it back and get the metal treated before I get it painted and undersealed.
If there are any meets around this area I would love to attend!

^that sounds pretty harsh!
Hello! I'm Steve also in York, turned 25 this month and after a few years wanting one since insurance dropped pretty much on my birthday i'm looking, but I've decided it has to be an NA Tbar, ideally Rev 2/3.
(viewed 2 which were really tidy, and only a couple hundred quid but were sold before sale was completed so anyone knows of one...)
Looking forward to getting one and meeting a few people.
