Hello from the Netherlands
Hi every one am Peter 38 year’s old proud MK1 owner…
I restored my MK1 last year painted in Miami Blue L51C .
Dropped another engine in it runs now on a 2.0 ABA fitted some R1 carbs 40mm.
Add a 279Gr camshaft, lightweight followers and stronger valve springs.
This is the short story ……. It took me 15 months to get it as it is now !
Not so good in writing English sorry ,so better start with some pictures from my MK1
Any questions please feel free to ask ,and in the mean time I will try to find my way here !

Hi and a warm welcome to the Club Peter!
Your car looks stunning I have to admit and I'm normally not that crazy about Mk1 with Mod's but yours looks fantastic.
If you ever drive towards Vienna, Austria look me up.
Or if you want to met half way then check out the link below in my signature for 'WoertherSee' next year, it was a lot of fun this year!

Looking superb Peter but looking at your colour scheme and especially your wheels.
By any chance are you a 'West Ham United' football fan or 'Aston Villa' may be?
