Congratulations on your new purchase Sharpy. I met Tuffty and your motor at Billing and it is a minter. I bet you are glad that you waited for the right mk1 to come along, enjoy.... _________________ There's no such thing as a stupid question... Just stupid people! |

Few things have been done:
Lowered 60mm
Original Lucas 20 20 Spots added with drive lense's
Alloys (I know there the similar to yours lee but these came up and couldnt resit, plus I think they look swell on a mk1!)
GTE bumper fitted too
Next on the list is to get the 2 rear corners sorted at the paint shop!
Before alloys where sprayed:
