TF in Scotland
Hello,
We've had our late 2003 TF for just over 2 weeks now - it's a smile generator!
The car has only done 45k miles and is solid underneath. It had a few cosmetic issues that I have been dealing with. In the two weeks, I've changed the bonnet, boot lid, front bumper- these were not in the best state, door handles had been brush painted with black paint - they've been replaced with colour coded ones, , rear tyres were cracked and splitting from lack of use so have been replaced. The manual mirrors have been replaced with colour coded electric ones. The windows have been adjusted so that they don't leak any more. There's a few more cosmetic things to sort. There's a few oil leaks - dipstick tube, which has been fixed now, the camshaft cover gasket needs replaced and a driveshaft oil seal requires replacing - all relatively easy jobs to resolve. The back box has been replaced - this came with the car as the existing one was in a poor state - took a while to get it to align properly.
Trying to get as much done at the moment so that we can get out and enjoy it - makes us smile every time we're out in it.
Thanks, Mark
