My first classic car :)

Been a member for a little while now but decided not to post anything until now as was convinced I'd have to sell the golf Luckily, after months of sorting out money and debating with the fella, finally got a place to start working on my golf He's a 1.6 Carb engine, needs a good old clean and the wiring sorting but luckily roofs in good nick and is a tidy looking car- other than the ripped front seat He's been nicknamed Maverick and I'm very excited to be finally able to work on him!
Hoping to have him in good condition for the shows next year 

Welcome! That doesn't look too bad at all Are you coming to the Annual Gathering in a couple of weeks?

Is that a Ford Pop in orange lurking in the background there?

Thanks!
Hopefully he'll be looking a lot better soon
And i'd love to but its a bit far for me at short notice but hoping to get to next years! 
And yeah, one of the many family projects 

A nice tidy mk1 you have there.  I thought that was an orange 103E Pop in the background - any more pics/details on that ?

Aha, not much to say on it atm, was orange and cream, is currently being sanded down to be resprayed all in orange, has been sitting for a while so got itself in a bit of a state but finally got the other cars finished so can start on it, don't really get involved with it anymore as I moved away and left it to father and son time, will take a couple of pics next time i'm over there, hopefully will be sprayed soon so they can start working on getting it ready for the shows

Some cool cars in your family then. I did wonder if the sierra was a cossie but the spoiler didnt look right in the pic I could see. 

The cosworth is one of the cars ive always wanted since I was a kid.

Yeah, quite a few fords owned by the family, dad and brother are major ford fanatics, although dads taken a shine to my dubs over the years 
And yeah cosworths are gorgeous cars, my faves the pop, but my lil brothers mk2 fiesta looks like a laugh to drive
