Happy birthday

 

[Laura]

Thanks, I'm eating cake and marking up the new hose to cut

 

[LIL B]

Nice nails.

 

[MaLicE]

If you are going to cut the hose do it properly!!!!

 

[Laura]

Nice nails.

mate when you spend every spare moment up to your eyes in oil and grease yours would look the same.

If you are going to cut the hose do it properly!!!!

[Alex H]

Looks awesome!

 

[Laura]

so shes been sat up for a month or so ive just been too busy to sort the suspension, but last night on getting home i just had the urge to get it out.

 

[Tez.]

Daily and weekend !

 

[Adz]

i love mk1's and this is lovely only thing that i dont like is the way it sits with the wheels looks to 4x4 for me, smaller dish and tuck some wheel and it would be a winner ......like this

 

[-J-]

The 3rd picture makes the A1 look like a 4WD

 

[Laura]

I don't like tuck on mk1s where as I agree they are a little large... Finding 14" bbs rs's .... Good luck.

 

[adele_90]

Mk1 over the a1 anyday! Looks fantastic , bit of tuck and it would be perfect!

 

[Rob]

No tuck needed. Seriously one of my (if not actual) favourite cars on here. It's just so damn nice.

How does it go? Any good to drive?

 

[Pedro19]

Just read the entire thing, WOW!

Incredible car, I now really want one when I have my own garage to store it in

 

[Laura]

wow thanks rob

went about sorting the suspension out yesterday so i can drive it on the road.. rather than just on my drive haha

the front n/s had more camber for some reason and the inside of the wheel was toutching the coilover

and in turn the ajuster ring had been gazing the inner edge of the tyre

wee swist of the camber bolt and all was sorted on the fronts.

The rears had eaten the tyres after about half a mile

FML

raised the rear so had some clearance

actually int new looks better as its not squatting so much...

then it was time for its 1st propper functioning drive with the new wheels

amazing ... love it.. gets some propper funny looks

its actually OK to drive, as much as a 32 year old car can be i guess, very different to the A1 though. its not that quick at all but it still needs to be set up to get the best from it... but it drives ok and can do 50ish no problems.

[Riad]

Have to sort a shoot with this sometime soon.

 

[DaveDreads]

That bee must have thought it was a big daffodil.

It looks amazing.

 

[Laura]

Have to sort a shoot with this sometime soon.

deffo, although not too far from bramhall... haha, not untill i built my confidence with it at least lol

 

[JCC]

Last time I looked in this thread it was a shell, come a long way, looks stunning now. It's a credit to you.

If it were possible I'd have it tucking just a little tyre, no wheel though!

 

[Laura]

when running 9.5s its a little hard haha, im still on the look out for the 14s but we will see. Kinda want to stop spending money on this for a bit now haha.

 

[Christopher]

Driver's door looks good.

Love this thing.

 

[Laura]

dont be nasty

[Whirly172]

[Laura]

[Winston]

[Laura]

[Winston]

I lost all my numbers to! I will PM you my number now. A local meet just for you bless!!! Im taking my Golf off the road for MOT work and fitting the turbo bits from the scirocco but keep me posted I will work around the meet

 

[Nafoff]

nice, just nice,
nothing else needs to be said

 

[Laura]

thanks guys

your mk1 looked cool winst, plans?

i could go mad with this now and get small bumpers, opening quarter lights, porsche handles, new engine and 14" BBS RS wheels... but i should probably just enjoy it for a bit, been out n about this weekend in it and it feels great, sounds awesome now the exhaust is bedding in. gets a fiar few looks thats for sure!!

 

[Winston]

My Mk1 is a scruffy dog. I just want to make it fast

You need to get your arches rolled!!!! then just chip away at things now its on the road. What would the new engine be?

Anyway looked great on the RS's at the meet, The icing on the cake:approve:

 

[Laura]

want a 1.4 16v

 

[Winston]

Small blocks FTW!!!!

 

[Laura]

decided to sell the wheels, ooft. it needs 14s.
