My Mk1 called 'Elvis'
« 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!






Yes i need to get some better pics of him. these are quite rubbish! lol

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..

polished bbs splits, chrome trimmed bumpers and one of those wicked chrome roof racks and that would  be that. Will be very cool once its finished!

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...

Now to save for my engine management......  :sad:
