Hiya

Would Just like to say hello to everyone as ive just joined.

My name is Kevin and live in Weymouth in Dorset.

My MK1 is an 1982 GTI which still looks almost standard…..
Its been resprayed in Merc "Aventino Orange" which is not as bright as it sounds :lol:  :lol:  :lol: , it has received a few other mods on the outside like the Borbet T 8x14" and avo coilover kit and some body mods..

The inside has a 6 point roll cage, Recaro bucket seats and some alloy detailing.

Its the engine bay the really sets the car apart from the rest, as it has a highly tuned 1800cc G60 lump with customs alloy parts like header tanks washer bottles etc, a full length intercooler and a kenlowe radiator on a custom mountings..

This is only a brief description of my car as I would be here all night.
 I just hope you will all be kind to me, I know its not standard but it almost looks like it… :cry:  :cry:  :cry:
Please be gentle with me… :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

If everything in life was as good as the MK1
