Any New Years resolution plans for your Mk1?

Happy new year to you all.

Thought I would start the first of our forum posts this year a question about what your new year resolution plans are for your Mk1.

Mine is to take it to a few more general classic car shows rather than just the VW regulars. did a few last year, especially some events in town centres which were amazing, seeing the reactions of people who just haven't seen a Mk1 up close for years, we forget how rare our cars are outside of the VW scene.

Finish mine but very doubtful that will happen

I agree with you on the above and might have to copy you lol

Well Ive pulled mine to the front of the garage, so it's to crack on and get it to the body shop for minor adjustments

Mine isn't plans for my car but plan to by a resto project.

My plan is to get mine working again. and then not take it off the road at the start of summer to change bits.

Get the garage extended so I can crack on with the resto.

Make a good start, I dug the foundations on Friday  

Mine is to keep driving it as it's my daily and fit a new roof in the summer.

To admit to not being able to sort her out myself and send her off to be finished at a competent garage so I can finally enjoy driving her

To  get it  painted and  drive it.  

Do more than just look at it in hibernation!

its mission keep it running and on the road this year, get the summer out the way then hopefully a bit of resto and a colour change. mabyes an engine change if i have the cash.

My aim when it comes out of hibernation in April is this. 
Not to have idiots smacking into mine for no reason whatsoever! 

Three times last year alone.

1st was hard parking damage D/S which cost the other drivers insurance company £2,500

2nd was a woman who pulled out of a side road and told me and the Police she didn't see the give way sign or me. The car is white with a red roof for God sake and that cost another £2,700!

3rd was shopping trolley damage which cost me £350!

So that's my new years resolution. 

Mine is to get all the little niggles sorted before Easter and spend the rest of the summer actually using it!
