1983 Papyrus Green 1.5

Thought I would get the car ready for its annual mot and make it look presentable!

Got a better set of postie rear lights now and bolted two of the Oz turbos on to see how they looked against the small bumpers….I like it!

Looks sweat mate,  

Nice wish mine looked half as nice.

Bumper and wheels work so well together mate

Absolute winner  

Cheers guys, fitted the alloys the other side tonight and had to take a chewy front end shot with the new no plate, cheers to richyhill for the idea on that!

Couple of daylight shots….

Come and say hi if you're attending Stanford Hall in a few weeks

 Another subtle change for took place this week….

New shoes to be more precise!



A set of bbs rs001 4x100 et25s to be more precise

Fully rebuilt in OE spec by Mike the polisher…finished of with new nankang 165/50/15 ns2s…

Comments welcome

I do miss the Oz turbos

Very nice, liked the oz's but these even better, car is looking great such a great colour combination. Not too sure on the number plate though, but then I was never a pioneer of being different..

Lol

Cheers

The number plate is strictly for road use and to stop being pulled over, it's a solution to avoid drilling holes in the bumper to fit the bracket…it's a bit jap style I know, but it's more for road use, I'll whip
It off at shows

Your car looks stunning POjy. Love the new wheels, and the chrome trim looks spot on.

I had someone undo the camber earlier…sits so much better and rides smoother now!

It's been a while people, not much has changed apart from me re fitting the oz turbos as they suited the car better I felt…

I've now got a mk2 type 19 project to work on over winter and am thinking about selling the mk1.

Some of you may have seen this at a show or two and I'm thinking about selling up, looking for around £5,500 as it is.

I can adjust the price by taking some of the parts off and replacing them with the original parts to bring the price down and let people add their own touches.

This car pulls allot of attention at shows and is a real gem of a car. I'm only selling as I've bought a rare mk2 type 19 in Nevada beige I want to get stuck into!

It has 71k on it and has full proper service history with every receipt from new and a huge history file. It's a 1.5 auto and is in the original colours, body and roof. The inside is full of beige/tan/brown goodness and I can assure you it's one of a kind and you will never see one in this spec!

Here's a couple of recent pics for you to drool over!

I am no longer the proud owner of this car.

I've strongly recommended the new owner joins the club to keep this thread alive!

I am missing it to be honest, it was so unique.

Oh well, onwards and sideways lol!

Couple of small updates.

Cars had a full service and runs smoother then ever now!

Got fed up of having to constantly tune the radio in whilst driving around so thought it's time for an upgrade.

I wanted a period look
Without any flashing disco lights so went for this…

It's from the 2000 era and looks just right I think..




Also upgraded to a brown Wolfsburg steering and have put the black one up for sale…

bugs-gti there you go James.

I do miss this car!

Hi Jim

I’m pretty sure he’s based up north. As for costs it all depends upon the condition of the Alloys, bolts, dishes etc.

I have his number and he’s on Facebook under his proper name.

If you need the details let me know.

Cheers
