Hi my name is Tony,I recently purchased a yellow peril for my daughter as she always wanted to have Cabriolet . Having been to collect the car from the seller and got it home.

 Disappointing to find lot of repairs required to make it safe.

Electric roof has been changed to manual m,Not fitted correctly

A lot of water coming in via Windows and light fittings.

Central locking not working

Front pads and discs required and maybe callipers need replacing 

 

Seems I have an unexpected project on my hands 

where do I start.
