Looking good, Paintz. Glad to see you're still in possession of a Mk1.

Looking good!

Please tell us more about the suspension.....What did you do and where are the parts purchased from?

Need to lower the Cab I have.

Thanks Rob

G'day Rob,

If you're after Weitec or KW I can help you. Full Australian (factory backed) warranty and service. PM me, mate.

I had no idea there were GTi's over here! Mine's just arrived from UK..... taken 2 weeks to get blue slip so far (still waiting!!!!)

Good place to get minor spares (bearings etc)? I just bought some from crazyquiffs but thinking it'd be easier to buy local if possible.

Yours looks absolutely mint dude.
Mine is an import to. mine still needs a lot of work. saving for a respray at the moment.

Did you use shorter springs to lower it or coilovers?

Thanks, I'm pretty chuffed with it.
The data sticker says it's meant to be Alpine White so I'll be putting it back to standard; everything else seems great with it (apart from some ropey speakers in the front doors).
It's a Campaign so I'm leaving it standard and updating with some invisible modern stuff (invisible stereo upgrade, bluetooth etc). Want it to look totally standard though.
Be a bonus if it was factory Atlas Grey! It'd be worth twice what I paid for it!

Liking the wheel choice!

I did say if I don't get any bites the bodywork would start. So its started.


Nest of bull ants under carpet. Would have been nice having one up my leg down the M7.
