(Sorry, I think I posted this once before and I didn't hit 'submit') Hi everyone! After many years of waiting and saving and a late onset diagnosis of type 1 diabetes which nearly killed me in 2018, I've finally bitten the bullet and as an early thirtieth birthday present to myself bought a lovely 1988 Silver Spirit in midnight blue. It's in excellent condition, and now I've had a major service it's running like a dream. Being the perfectionist that I am, I have a long list of 'to do's' that I'm working through. No doubt it will be a continual work in progress. Just wanted to say hello to everyone, and look forward to chatting some more. Photos coming soon! Cheers, Justin |

Justin, Welcome and Happy birthday. You have to post a picture(s) soon. Also posting your to do list is often a helpful exercise with people giving advice about the items in terms of time, tips, products to use, etc. Best. |

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to becoming part of the community! Yes, Graham Phillips, welcome to the insanity indeed. I have another $12,000.00 to go to get the vehicle up to my desired standard. Lucky my partner is the saver of the two of us, and drives a Mazda 3. Someone needs to balance me out a bit. He thinks it's absolute madness spending money like this. He's probably right. |

Good luck with your new purchase Justin, unfortunately I know nothing about the Spirit, I'm more of a Shadow person myself. |
