Hola from Sunny Suffolk

Hi Guy's and Gal's


I'm not new the the VW scene, I've owned quite a few now.

I've just lost my Mk1 cherry. I am the proud owner of a 1983 1.3 Driver. It has 188k on the clock and comes with loads on history.







It was used up untill Feburary this year. Its pretty solid all round. It only needs a rear panel, inner, outer off side rear arch and the hole in the roof repaired.


Its going to be painted R32 blue with clipper bumpers, a roll cage, 2ltr with a few tweeks, G60 front and rear disks and a few other things that I need to make my mind up on. I have a Mk3 8V GTi as a donor car for the engine, loom, brakes, dash etc. I hope to have it on the road for July 2012.

Wish me luck!!

Thanks for the nice welcome.

Looks like in need it finished for the 5th July then!!  I will become a paid member, will give the misses something to by me for Xmas. lol I do hope the colour suits the car when its done. Its been a very hard to choose as I did like the colour it has now. I'll update with pic's most weeks, I'm going to get this done asap.

The Evo is mine. Its a 2006 Evo 9 FQ 340. I bought it new and have done lots to it, loads of carbon as you can see, loads of HKS bits and a few Apexi and its now running 400 bhp atw and 398lbft atw . I love the intercooler best, its HUGE!!
