16v kid, great car mate, can't wait to see it all done and dropped. love the colour mate, i hope you leave it that colour, i haven't seen any in aus in that blue.

i reckon the way a lot of people treat this guy is disguisting. since he's been a member he's copped nothing but sh*t from a lot of members. he takes all this negativity on the chin and apologises (which he shouldn't have to), so people see him as an easy target and pile it on him....grow up and pull your god damn heads in! just out of interest how old are you 16v kid? i'm guessing not very old. most of the guys here are A LOT older with a lot more knowledge and thats fair enough... your HELPFUL contributions i'm sure are much appreciated. but all you tough guys out there talking down to him, you were at this guys level of knowledge at some stage in your life so give him a break, i bet you wouldn't have appreciated being hammered with rubbish when you were trying to learn.

this is the second time in recent weeks he's copped it and i think the mods should really step in and sort some people out. i'm surprised he's even still a member here, i wouldn't be after being treated so crap.

It looks great Gordan, good luck with it. I can't say I have ever seen that colour in the flesh either.

I envy you getting into cars at your age, I never was able to get a project car when I was 15, it would have been a great way to learn my way, mechanically, around a car. I think you'd probably know more about how to fix up cars than me, and I'm five years older than you.

Mine was originally that colour. Mollins and gldgti's car is that colour.. There's a heap around that colour.

Its a nice shade. I like it. I only went white for a change..


By the way dude, most of us (or me at the very least) aren't trying to cut you down or flame you.. But you really need to proof read things more and stop being so ambitious. Ask questions instead of making statements, etc.

ok...

see i like what your saying because im learning...

yeh its a pretty cool colour...

but when i finish with it im probs going to sell it. and look for a another mk1

[Spyda]

Looks good mate, id like to see what you end up doing to it.

I was just as bad at your age...and still am . Chin up bro.

[16v_kid]

should i dump it...or if i dump it could it lose it value for dumping it.....mmmm

help

[Retired]

Hey mate,

The colour is beautiful, I will be painting my new mk1 this colour haha.

What about some standard steelies and just a small drop? would look pretty nice I think, maybe try to restore little things like the badges and interior trim.

[Mischa]

how come everyone wants him to put the standard 13" pizza cutters on there? i think it looks good with the mk3 steelies on it

oh really, i just personally haven't seen any i that colour. maybe they've all gone down south.

Its pretty easy to get carried away on here and keep in mind, not everyone has the same level of articulation and communication skill not to mention a basic English literacy level. In these cases the only thing you can do is be patient and give the individual a chance to correctly respond.

Keep it up 16v_kid I look forward to seeing the finished product.

[Antdragonist]

i love the colour mate, looks like a great little car in excellent condition.
id be going for the simple fix up and restore bits n pieces route with her n keep the 1.6 auto,
no need to rush in with dumping it and schmicko wheels n all that jazz, take your time and treat her like a lady - rome wasnt built in a day

cant wait to see things unfold with her!

[velly_16v_cab]

nice new car fella.
its always good to see more mk1's and mk2's joining in the fun.
