Tas Mk1's!

[Henri]

Well done man! Can't wait to see it around, and yeah chuck up some pics.

[Stephy]

...nice work!! We love tassie Mk1s! Please show us some pics of your little orange beast!

....one of the 4drs i wrecked was an auto, had been rear ended pretty badly though and a lot of the engine bits were gone

[SpeciP3]

Will grab some pics 2moro, i took a few but they are useless, so will get some better ones 2moro.

Planning on painting it bright white, but I also like the idea of the early LS orange - also have a set of stripes for it.

Here's a pic anyway

NICE!

Has this golf been in the scene already?

[SpeciP3]

yeah sure has, just needs a little clean up to get it back up to standard

[ethan]

what type of bumper bars has it got mate??

[JoshFair]

the picture suggests they might be chrome ethan tehehe

After looking at all the other threads asking what mk1's live where, I thought it'd be worth while making one for Tassie!

So if you've got, or had a mk1 of any sort whack up a pic (or pics) of your prized beast.

I'll make a start,

01/1976 2dr swallowtail (it's for sale if anyone doesn't know!!)

Whats the spec on the rims and tyre combo they look hot mini lights 13 x8 ? awesome looking car

13x6 fronts, 13x8 rears - looked sick but rears were well past the guards even with flares.

yeah bumpers on the newby are chrome also.

took some more pictures today after removing a few bits.

plan for wheels?? front style?? accessories??

Awesome man. Always loved this car, such a clean body. White would look sweet but I reckon that orange is pretty rad too, have been thinking of doing mine in orange. What engine do you have in it?

Cheers mate, yeah orange looks good but I'm more of a fan of the brighter/lighter orange.
It has a 1.8 with a dellorto carb (unsure of size yet) and a 5 speed box, likes to rev tho haha.

As for "bits" yet I'm not really sure where I want to go with it, but like the idea of gti mods (have a stripe kit already) and some fat wheels.

Nice one! are these from the June 19th also?

OK, so these look like crap, but lets just say I have some parts at least...
Thanks Ethan for the yellow beast deal... Very good condition, other than the usual A-Pillar rust around windscreen.


This one is the GLD I have just brought back on the weekend. Is a parts car for the Red GLD - to follow... Although, look at the patina on that Paint Job... can anyone say IDEAL RAT?



The Red GLD which is all there, just the engine needs an overhaul... It works, just a bit tired...


And my GLS.... Has had a touch up, but really needs a complete pull down in the next few years and a thorough going over...

Don't get me wrong, it's in good shape, but the paint is a bit thin in places... Even has the original louvre on the back window!
