Greetings from carrickfergus

Hi all. This is my first post as a new member and just wanted to say hi to all fellow members. Does anyone have details of members in northern ireland? Im keen to get info on club days etc and im also looking a few trim parts for my mk1 cab. Many thanks  

Hi and welcome.

Just look in the regional threads section and I am sure Shughy is the regional host for Ireland.

Post some pics of your car up so we can see it :-)

Hey Hamster welcome along.

Good few mk1 NI guys about. Have a look at the members map and you will see a few dotted around. Send a pm they are a friendly lot.

The show season has pretty much ended but dubshed (belfast) in april will kicj it off again in 2013.

What mk1 trip bits are you after?

Get some pics up too… we love photos of newbies cars!

Hi guys. Many thanks for the welcome messages. I will post some pics of my cab as soon as i figure out how to download them from my iphone. :dontknow:  :dontknow:

As mentioned in my first post im looking a few trim parts. Im looking the 2 gutter trims and the metal insert for the outside of the drivers door handle and also the 2 plastic covers for the roof ( the ones that sit at the bottom of the roof just before the rear quarter windows. If anyone has these please let me know. Many thanks

As requested pics of my mk1 cab.

Welcome fella , I'm from Portadown, there are a few ni guys on here, its a great site for information and advice on your Mk1.

Like Shughy said its quiet on the show front this time of year, the first big one is probably Dubshed which I think is on 7 April 2013 in the Kings Hall complex, I'm sure there will be a gathering of Mk1's there.

Hi all. I have fitted 40mm lowering springs to my cab (pictured above with the springs fitted) but to me it still looks a bit high at the front so im thinking about lowering caps. When i fitted these springs the front does seem lower and the rear has came up a bit. Still standard at the rear by the way. I didnt want to fit the rear lowering springs as im sure the car would have sat as it was before(lower at the rear than the front) so im just looking opinions and options. Let me know what you think. Many thanks
