gaydon embarrassment

It's getting closer and I'm thinking how embarrassing it will be turning up in Evie aka the blue banger….she has never looked fantastic but now she is looking seriously bad! She's having a respray, engine swop, brake upgrade,change to manual & new interior the week after in a massive overhaul but right now she looks horrendous! She's filthy, the carpets are gross & generally filled with child-related junk. On the outside she has more holes than a sieve and on the back no badges, just blobs of weld!

I'm sure no-one can beat this but is anyone else going to feel like hanging their head in shame?  ops:

may i refer u to the partners in grime vwoc thread above!

Think Evie wins - and the cab isnt looking much better!

*cough*

Haha that's close
It's similar to mine in that everything is a mess - except for the headlights  8)

slowly tidying her up soon all that will be left is paint lol

I think all mk1's in what ever state are worth seeing as next time you see them they usually have changed and that is half the fun of going to shows seeing the changes on cars…

ha ha Dubgrrl  :mrgreen: , bring her along, you just got the time timing wrong by a week, it's still a mk1 and will be loved for her inner beauty   , mines in for a respray tomorrow and cant wait to get her back  :wink:

Don't worry guys, I might be coming in a VR6 - how embarrasing is that!

3 mk1's on your drive and your coming in a VR6???? how come

you think your cars are hanging check me out when i get up on the sunday at gaydon after a few shandys now that will be hanging    

may even be pizza delivery in the night eh paul :wink:

You still love him/her though right? So it's all good  8)

I do love her, thats why we're doing her up - wouldve been loads easier to get rid but I couldnt do it!
Definately got the timing wrong on the respray though - has to tie in with husbands work holiday though

NEVER be embarrassed in a Mk1 - even with the shiniest examples all around you.

At the NEC last year I had a "project" car and it received a surprising amount of attention.

Cheers

At least she'll be able to go! mine's now off the road  :cry: but only myself to blame! so I'll also be turning up in a VR6

besides, a Mk1 with rust and/or dents isn't battered or run down, it's just got character  :wink:

Hmm we'll see! Perhaps there should be another category in show n shine!

mine did look like this,

now it looks like this,

 :mrgreen:

That's just the other side!

better!!!!
