Title: Intro.... New member with a '81 Mk1 Gti
Post by: JamieC on 27 June 2007, 18:08: I'm liking it. :)

Its been in the family from new, has Ã‚£3-4K worth of receipts for it, drives beautifully, and just needs bodywork and general tidying really to make it a proper stunner. SWMBO likes it too, looks like we'll be restoring it together.

I am owner no. 3, the Original owner was my Aunts dad, couldnt quite work out what technical relation to me he was! He bought the car new, to.. and I quote.. 'take rubbish to the tip'. Yep, he didnt want to take the Roller/Bentley etc to the tip with the garden waste, so he bought this. My uncle bought it off him 10 years or so ago, and has kept it since. It has air-con as when he bought it new he wouldnt have a car without air-con, it wasnt an option, so on it went.

Not mint, no doubts about it, but solid enough to enjoy this summer. Loads of parts about for them, and not fussed if its all different colours for a while. Trim down both sides is off as it was full of gunk underneath.

Its even got AirCon.. how cool am I :D

Anyway, pics.

Pics will come when I change the hosting link due to the name of it. :(

So hello, I shall do lots of searching for minor niggles I have, and will show a few work in progress pics when I get them off the camera.
