Allways happy to please 

I was VERY lucky to get the car from a guy on Club GTi who had put the car through 5 years of developement to get the car sorted. I've done a fair bit to it to upkeep it and there is allways something to do on it but that's why I got it. I've learnt so much about how a car functions and what things do.
I've got to do all the rear brake set up next week...pistons/cables/shoes and drums...yep still runs on drums

well wen mine is finished it will prob just be a weekend car as i got a mk4 for a daily but am considering a 20vt for it so things could change

At the moment it's on the drive, with a wheel off and the caliper hanging off, but I intend to drive it a lot. Just hoping someone buys my beemer so I can pay for it.

Ive just rang my insurance company up to see about getting a weekends cover so I could go and pick one up but they have just told me they dont insure cars that old! they insure me on my MK4 GTI but wouldnt on a MK1... dam

Yeah I have to agree that when you do start pulling it to bits, you learn more about the car...

Try Adrian Flux...they do both my Mk3 16v and the Mk1 with all the mods. If not try A-plan....well try both and play them off for the best quote. Do Flux first and then take £100 or so off when speaking to A-plan and I'll bet they will match it. They play sneakily so why can't we. I did this for my renewal in Feb and got Flux to drop the renewal by £96. They always have £50-100 they can knock off but don't as it will eat into thier bonus

...also have a look in the insurance section on here and speak to MartinB at HIC. He'll deffo be able to sort something out.

Oh yea will defo look into them companys come renewal time.  I cant afford to switch at the moment as Halifax gave me such a good deal for this year so it looks likw ill either have to wait or invest in a trailer and a towbar
