Welcome mate from another bristolian!  :mrgreen:

welcome to the site fella, thatsoneproject you'v taken on, noticed theres quite a few thing filled and flushed of on her, locks and badges and stuff,wots ya plans for her and wot look ya guna be goin for?

Just wanted to introduce myself too.  Am from Bristol and a month ago I bought my first MK1 GTI, after owning a MK4 V5.

This is it:









The suspension is a little too low for my liking, so am putting on some original shocks with 40mm springs.  Then putting on some Ronal Turbos I've just bought.  

There's a spot of rust at the jacking point on the passenger side (but it's an easy fix and underneath is immaculate apart from that!).  Bit of rust to tackle on the driver's door and tiny amount that needs nipping in the bud at the front windscreen seal, then it's done!

Are there any other meets in Bristol coming soon?  the South West page says there's not one until November, and would be good to meet up with other owners.

looks cool, how low is yours?



my plans are just to clean it up, get all the smoothing finished and then paint it..

just satin black for now..

get it nice and low, sort out the inside, clean it up.. nothing crazy just get it looking good.

Not sure exactly, but it's too low.  Scrapes on speed bumps and am worried it will eventually take the sump out, so got to change it soon.

Black will be great.  I originally wanted to get one in black, but fell for this one and it's far better in white than I thought it would be.

welcome mate  :mrgreen:

Welcome fellow dubber :wink:
I did see that on the bay and i was interested for a while but ive made my mind up that its gonna be a white one when i get on with sorting out a tinny.

Finally got mine sorted now.  All rust gone, windows out respray, and Ronals.  I've been checky and submitted it for COTM.  Fingers crossed, here it is:

PS, anyone know when the next meet is in Bristol?  I missed the last one.

Hey guys, im from BRISTOL too, i know VAG owners meet up once a month which i am gathering used to be at the griffin, where ever that is, or maybe it still is, i will have to shout a friend rob with his corrado and see when next meet is.

I was thinking of maybe trying to get the BRISTOL lot and anyone else interested up the downs by the sea walls one sunny sunday maybe? once weve all met, maybe we could then go up to the gloucester meets in anyone is interested?

i will post up in the regional section in a bit

Rich

I'm up for it.  Name your date.
