    Good to see it getting some love. Was sad to hear about the crash but I'm looking forward to seeing it again better than ever. Let me know if you have a working bee some time and I'll try to make it round. Being that we're Bayside neighbours and all

        i don' t know how i missed this,

        but looks like a cool little car, and sucks above the accident but awesome that its all being fixed and your doing a few mods while your at it.

        keen to see it evolve!

                              now it looks as though things will be delayed even further....




                              ...may or may not be commencing a full respray in the next couple of weeks (have a week off uni as well )

                              thinking about respraying either mexico beige or atlas white (as i've ALWAYS wanted a mk1 2 door in a crisp beige-y colour)

                              new window seals, chrome trim (window chrome and side trim), new carpet and new headliner to top it off

                              Just need to decide on a colour! :O
