My new K04 APY mk1 (Ruby)

Few more photos of the car and new front seats

Those seats fit lovely in there  

Matt

Thanks. I am now wondering whether to change the entire interior to brown...

Took the car out today to go meet a fellow dubber. A few photos from today (and a couple rather indulgently shopped ones )

Nice photos, the car looks great  

Matt

Love the car, bet it isn't half quick with the k04!

Are you going to be selling the cage at any point? I'm looking for one at the moment to bolt straight into my mk1!

yeah, it's pretty nuts Cage has already sold mate, sorry

Ah that's a shame, in need of one!

Do you know what sort of figures you're getting with the k04?

Argh, I can't remember mate, sorry. I know its 8J up front and 9J at that back, and it's the same tyre profile all round…but I'm not with the car and I can't remember what I got fitted lol I'll find out next time!

Really liking this, that's shallow sump kit looks well put together. How much better is the mk3 wiper compared to the old one?

Honestly mate it's the difference between it working and not working at all. The old mk1 one was pretty dire. I think most people whack a mk2 motor in there because it's easier - I struggled to get the right mk3 motor for mine (because I had the old SWG mk1 motor) and had to get a cabrio mk3 motor from the USA

awesome looking mk1 this
