Your car looks ace. Loving that green, the lowering and the white walls,

And where did you get the sticker and the ariel thingo? Or is that giving away trade secrets?

[lawny]

yeah the union oil topper and the sticker were a must for any retro mk1

Love dat ping pong ball addition to your aerial anthenna

[mikinoz]

What theme? Chrome, timber slats?? You can get some made custom for not too much if you know what you want as well.

I had to use a blockbuster to remove my tow bar tongue!

Mad car - loving it like others. You should be proud of your choices. You have racks?

no i cant seem to find any racks. if anyone has some please let me know.

Wow that looks really nice, must definitely be a real head turner!

Any rust? Out of curiosity of course...

no real visible rust, there seems to be a small bubble of rust coming through under the rear window but that is about it. been garaged all of its life.

Looking really sweet. Seems like there's getting to be a few low MK1s around Melbourne. None here, though.

rear bumper now painted, starting to look like the end result i am wanting. now just got to try and get that tow bar tongue off, stuck real bad!

Good work, looks very tidy

[lawny]

Looks very cool mate! Very retro. I would also get some new number plates in black and white.

i am in the process of thinking up some personal plates for it at the moment. i will be getting them done in black with white or the opposite, not sure yet.

Or colour match the letters and numbers to the paint!

[lawny]

bumper looks good black i reckon lawny. heaps better. what paint did ya use?

just a bumper and trim spray can from autobarn. went on really well, better than i thought it would.

[lawny]

Ok i'm DEFINATELY white-walling my mk1 now. Standard wheels look great.
Are they the stick-on white walls?
And what mm drop is it from stock?
Cheers,
Wade

yeah they are the insert whitewalls, hardly notice it though. i think about 70mm drop.
