Hi, new member here. I bought this ph1 last year which I do I like a lot. I love the way it drives, sounds and looks. In hindsight I wouldn’t have bought this particular example, but I did and I’ve learnt quite a bit about cars in general because of it.
I had done hardly any research on these before buying. The ad and the car had been presented well and I missed/brushed off any negatives. After buying the car I started to do the research I should have done in the first place and upon further inspection I presumed I had a rusty car, obviously this was very frustrating. I parked it up over winter and sent it off in April for any problems to be sorted out. As you can see my presumption about rust was correct unfortunately. I don’t have pictures of the passenger side sill but apparently there is only a small hole. It is currently all being sorted along with a few mechanical bits and will come back to me having had a major service. I can’t wait to get it back around late June.
Saying that, I’m unsure as to what comes next with this car. It has had a poor respray in the past (yes I know, I was very naïve when I bought it) and needs a high quality full respray to make right. I’ll either finish getting it up to a ‘good’ standard and probably keep it or if another good example comes up for sale at a good price I may sell so long as I haven’t committed too much to this car. Apologies for the pictures they're the only decent ones I have at the moment.
