hi.
please sell the heater trim panel and the knobs to me if you are going to wreck it..
I was looking for it for a long time!!

Thats a nice colour - my 3dr was originally that colour before someone decided to paint it orange and bodge it up.

Have you pulled back the front carpet and looked at the floors and where the wheel-wells meet the floors at the front? This is where mine is the worst. Otherwise if you found some new doors it looks like the nastiest looking rust would be out of the way (famous last words).

fix it,

rat it out , slam it on wide rims and cruise it with the auto

If you do wreck, can I put dibs on the driveshafts if they are 90mm?

Seen better days mate. Id send it to the car gods to keep some other Mk1's on the road.

It's got perfect seats and a good dash, 89000 on the clock and no rust in the body.

If only I had a set of doors and guards........

First if i were you i'd lift the front carpets and with that front wing rusted through at the base i would be very closely inspecting the lower A pillar because if the outer wing is that badly rusted usually the A pillar is just as bad

Save the bonnet, door locks, good condition Swallowtail interior and put it in a better shell.

The answer is............

RESTORE!

I have a set of doors and guards


which came of this car four years ago





some rust in the body, some rust in the panels.... WHo knows why??

I suspect a bit of repair will be required to the base of the LHS A pillar but nothing else (touch wood)
The door cards have been painted black and will need to be carefully stripped. Also I think the carpet is not original.

[GRN_VAGN]

wish you where closer, i want a auto

I still reckon try and save it, as others though, check under the carpet

[chesymoon]

good for you mate. I actually didn't wanna see more mk1 getting wrecked.... they are disappearing one by one!! oh no~

btw did you get the spare dash from the red mk1 as well?

How can I find the knobs and trim panel!

[hiho]

I wish, it was sold years ago. It was perfect.

[Jace]

I would love to start again with a 2-door, plastic dash, bolt through vent windows and piece it together perfectly.
