Title: My Mk1 called 'Elvis'
Post by: KittyMk1 on 27 April 2007, 11:24

Hey People.

Pics of Elvis....

He's a 1100 Golf C. Bought him 2 years ago with 47k on the clock.
Interior is really clean apart from a little wear on the drivers seat and the headlining is like new white lace knickers! So bright! lol
Absolutely solid chassis but the bodywork is a bit tatty but anyway he's going for a respray soon (May!) and then i'll be putting a 20VT engine in when funds begin to come back!
Hope u like him!

A drop, some detailing and wheels and Elvis will look so cool...

Love the paint, very subtle for a street stormer... only "hearing aid" beige is probably more subtle..

now that is a very clean standard mk1, love the colour, 20v engine sounds like a great plan, but keep the outside of the car standard to really throw people off the power under the hood once completed...

Which management you going for? I know a man who is handy with Omex .. not a million miles away from you either!

Post by: KittyMk1 on 14 July 2009, 22:12

i only briefly researched omex but i think the Emerald K3 will be sufficient enough for me at the moment anyway but thanks Topher, I'll keep it in mind :) x

i agree! It was like driving a hairdryer haha!
My first car was my cab which is a 1.5 and going from that to the 1.1 was hilarious, the difference in sound had me in stitches  :grin:
