Been on the hunt for something for a while since selling my Mk2 about 3 weeks ago. Being carless was somewhat tiresome but today I finally bought a car ive wanted for a while. Behold...



A few niggles as to be expected, but so far very happy.

I love these. Needs to be dropped with wide wheels though i think.

Looks clean though. Any plans?

Cheers guys. Only plans I really have is to tidy it up. It was completely resprayed a couple of years ago so the paintwork is good.

I may replace the decals on the side of the car which arent perfect.

Needs new window winders to replace chrome aftermarket ones.

A pillar trim which is currently missing.

Orange indicators in favour of the clear lenses.

New o/s headlamp as the current one is a bit yellow.

Other than that just keep it good condition, I may decide to change the wheels or suspension at a later date but at the moment im just enjoying it!

What was the difference with the rear lights? Was changing the dash surround a big job? Should have kept it!

My original rear lights had worn in the middle, the black band had rubbed off and it bugged me, bought two new ones from gsf for next to nothing.

Dash surround is a 2 minute job and brings some colour into the interior, ties it in with the red grille.

Are your seats red or grey?

Grey and fantastic condition, very pleased with the interior. The dash is missing screws though for no apparent reason.
