First mk1 :)

Hi guys bought my very first mk1 2 days ago! chuffed to bits with it, im 6 foot 8 so getting into it was a worry i had but absolutely no problems what so ever!

Further shows what great cars they are!

I'll let the pics do the talking! more to come

All Bright and shiny!





























Bit wet and mucky from a wee road trip… London - Aberdeen  



As you can tell my girl friend refused to get out the car whilst i was taking the pics because it was about.. 4 degrees and spitting haha



Strangely enough i dont like it so low, so going to raise it up a bit as its currently lowered 40mm and search for some OZ turbos!








And finally all tucked away… half anyway with my temporary car cover! Haven't got round to clearing my garage out yet as its full of anything and everything at the minute! Purchased a full weather proof, non abrasive, breathable cover so that should do the trick for a while anyway!



Hope you enjoy the pics, tell me what you think!

Thanks

Big Lew

Car looks great especially the seats !!

I got mine in London so done the London- Edinburgh trip but it was easier for me as I am a mere 6 ft 3" !!

Hopefully see it at a meet or 2 next year when the weather is better, prob around July ;-)

Ah sorry mate! Will know next time thanks though!

Thanks mate! yeah was on Gumtree! bit of a cheat buying one with most or all the work done in comparison to other peoples long hard work to make theres
pristine!

I think the next step is to buy a shell or a cheap, cheap runner and make it my project, have to start some where since im a bit of a noob at the minute!

Cheers Chris! Yeah im not 100% about the wiper either tbh, i might get it sorted. When i drove up it was raining for the 5 hours i was driving and even in the

dark the 1 wiper worked well but looks wise.. not sure You replied to my post about my height ages ago if i remember right! Had to take a bus to get to

Woking which was the last step of the journey down after a plane and 3 trains and the entire time i was thinking " F*** me if i don't fit in this car the drive

up is going to cripple me! but thankfully i have heaps of room! always happily surprised when it comes to VW's and my mk1 didnt let me down


Massbad, will definitely be attending as many Scottish meets i can! looking forward to them! btw when i asked why people always noted " for the

winter" in their adverts for selling mk1's i can see why now! this weather is not ideal for 30 year old cars! im not used to not having power steering either

the ice isnt helping!

Cheers for the comments guys, appreciate it!

welcome to the club big lew

and looks like you have a nice buy there,

look forward to seeing you and the car at some meets / the agm in the future
