Hi im new

Hi there, im dicky im 21 from swansea. I bought a 1.3 mk1 80 model back in feb of this year and have gone about the task of changing it 2 a new nicer car

basically ive changed the 1.3 for a 1.8 8v gti lump with twin 40s, stripped the whole shell back and had it all resprayed in subaru wr1 blue, ive put bilstein shox with a 60mm drop all round and have volkracing 14 inch split rims on her..

inside shes been treated to some bucket seats and a false floor in the rear..

here are pics as shes progressed

how she looked when i bought her














then the donor car came

engine














how she stood after she got sprayed! vag green windows in her! wired up the leccy windows, made subframes for my buckets and now im jst waiting to put my new lump in

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Personally I prefer the "Before" pic as I like Series 1 Drivers in Mandarin Orange…a rare sight.

Good luck with the car

Welcome Dicky, nice record of work done.
