another newb

Hi im new to mk1 ownership.
picked an 82 1.1 in i think pagras bluee? perhaps someone can clarify that
it definitely need new rear quarters and valance one front wing and maybe outer sills and door skins depending how deep the rust is once i have sanded the worst back.

I have no welding or mechanical experience so its going to be a steep learning curve!!

the strip down begins today so i will start a build thread too. heres a couple of pics


and one of my old mk2 now sold

Best way to learn…..get stuck in.  Looks like pargas blue.

Welcome to the site and start yourself off a build thread.

hello and welcome, nice project, nice mk2 aswell

Welcome & all the best with the project, neat mk2 by the way, had a few and luv em!

Hi and welcome to the site looks like a nice little project there

where about in the UK are you could you please add it to your profile as its easier to get you to a local meet if we know where you are.
cheers  

Thanks for the comments. Location now added, I'm in worcester.
I loved the mk2 but it rarely got used so we sold it and the wifes daily toyota and bought a mk4 gt tdi!! (yes She is now a confirmed convert)

Looking forward to getting the mk1 on the road. I have started a build thread. Cant decide at the mo wether just to get it road worthy lower it a little on some nice rims and enjoy it or go for a full rebuild. Pennies are tight just now so it might be the first option and do the bigger jobs as and when finances allow.

Welcome to the site mate

ta, just been distracted from adding to my build thread by reading your rat thread, damn now im thinking rat might be the way as like many of us im on a tight budget.  now im off to put up pics of what i did to poor old bogy yesterday!
