Aye! This is the thing about these cars, they are addictive as we all know, and to keep them going can be expensive at times.It it what it is. I consider my self very fortunate indeed as my wife who does question me at times about the upkeep of the Coupe, but she herself tells me it’s not the best idea to get rid of it. There are certain things I can still tackle on my Coupe, but major jobs I can’t. What I tell the little lady is no birthday or Christmas presents for me, this helps a wee bit.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

I guess I am lucky the broom yellow coupe is the better half's so no problem when it comes to spending money on her car!
Interestingly Saturday just gone was 25 years since she first picked the coupe up brand new. Still going strong.

I'm lucky that the Mrs let's me just get on with it. Or am I lucky, cos I'm now skint.... ?? Mine is also worth peanuts so finding it very hard to justify the £2 - £3k on a full respray that it desperately needs. I just tell myself that the stuff I'm learning along the way is priceless.

Go for it Toby. You have done everything else in the last couple of years.
