karmann cabriolet :)

HELLO!
I picked this up on New Years Eve from Shewsbury (from S. Wales) and experienced the most stressful trip of my life to begin with but now we have sorted the knackered choke cable and only HAVE TINY ISSUES YAY! (the first picture was taken by previous owner, all washing and detailing is done by me and by hand!!!! never at supermarkets!!!)
Anyway i have joined this forum after selling my mk2 golf

But i firmly believe i have upgraded

Welcome along where abouts in S Wales are you? Theres quite a few members from that area.

Car looks really tidy you got much planned?

Hiya!
I'm in the Newport area. I see the odd few knocking about! 
I bought this because aesthetically it's everything I want it to be, I'm keeping it as is. Just trying to catch up on the general maintenance the previous owner didn't quite manage to which is a bit of a shame! 

Anna

Ok cool, yea it looks pretty tidy
Im only over the other side of the severn bridge in England

May not be something to brag about!! Ha I joke I joke.

As soon as drove my golf over the border into Wales it had a right little eppy! 

Anna

Good looking car - I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I am in our recently bought Karmann.   

Welcome Anna, cabby looks tidy

Thank you!! 
I'm really excited for the spring and summer to get it gleaming get the roof down, ooooo yeeeeh

Why wait for summer as long as its not raining drop the roof. you can always put another jumper on

I will happily even on the cold days! 
It hasn't stopped raining though and I've nowhere dry to sort all the niggly bits out so it's just sat looking beautiful at the moment!
It's killing me!

Anna 

The day will come drop the roof turn heads it always puts a smile on my face cold or not. Enjoy
Regards Martin

In good time yes!
On the way home even in the dark I had them bad boys in their saxos and laughably large exhausts checking it out

"On the way home even in the dark I had them bad boys in their saxos and laughably large exhausts checking it out "

That happened to me Anna, but with a group of VW owners. As they passed me I got the 'forefinger & pinkie' hand signal from each car - but being an old fart I had to find out its a gesture of 'respect' or so I'm told by a young dude - so I reckon I'm cool now! LOL!

Enjoy your car - I'm gagging to get started on mine.  

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on the purchase.

I have never known what it means! - it is a bit suggestive to me! Ha!

Nah it'll be a good year for me and this car- just want to get out and get to know it!! 

Anna

Looks fresh, welcome to the club.

Hardest thing about MK1's is finding a good one  

So far so good! Thanks pal!!
It's going to VW for a chap that knows them better than me (it's all about who you know!!) for a good check up so I can keep this as sweet as possible and don't have any nasty surprises!!!
 

Always a good idea!

I'm coming from a MK2 as well, got a daily 1.8T Polo GTi but slightly bored and fancy some old metal again!

Get some more pics up, she's a beauty!

Ideally is dry store this and have another daily….but this will be til that is practical!

I will get more pictures up once I've detailed it myself not happy with the job the lad did!! 

Woo hoo another cabby owner from wales! I'm not too far from yourself, Pontypridd way. I'm in same situation as you can't wait to get out in the sun with the roof down. Bought mine last July been garaged all this time!
