I gave up with xs cos the interface was pants.

I couldn't be bothered to upload 28 pics a second time. Thanks for putting that one in Josh.

Nice one.... I love the rear hatch... infact I like it so much I did it to mine.... yours looks ALOT better though!

+1 to XS sux. I use imageshack.... works a treat

To say I'm looking forward to driving a mk1 GTI at long last is an understatement. I was a passenger in my mates car (I was 15) when he floored it in third from 80-110 km/h and I was speechless

The devils no plate is hilarious.
Car looks good mate.

The hatch just has black paint on it and I reckon it has been replaced at some time. The black bit should be a transfer from the factory.

I am looking forward to driving it properly too. Some fettling required though. Parked it up for now as we are away for Christmas.

There is plenty of room on the lawn and it's only a fiver a night!

I agree it was a lucky find, I couldn't believe it myself at the time. Robin chuffing guessed straight off when I called him about it. Must be a mind reader I reckon.

I reckon it'll be available in the next 6 months when I have finished it and the Audi.

Yep, great find Gavin.
Just curious about one thing though - one of the pictures shows solid front disks.
Didn't all GTI's come with vented disks?
(or are my eyes deceiving me?)

[h100vw]

Must be a duff picture angle, it does have vents on. Still crap feel mind! ;0)

Yeah, thought so.
Anyway, welcome to the GTI club

[EndlessMKI]

Took this for a thrash yesterday and while the handling is far from sorted it was a blast. 1600 felt as eager at 6K as a valver. So much different to the 1800 digi it's not funny. Brakes need work but all in what a legend.

Have to say the ratios felt longer than a mk2 so you really had to keep a foot in to make progress. Once this car has brakes and new suspension I can see it rocking in Flagstaff!

Nice one. Hopefully I'll get to check it out in April when I'm in Adelaide.
