Re: Mk1's in Wales
lol @ hoping not to change your mind
Last guy that saw and heard the V6 even tho I could only drive it round the private estates asked me if I could build him one.
By the next day he had bought the Camry, he's now got the mk1 for the engine and is dropping the camry off to me at the end of the month so I can start the build.
And he came to visit in a mk1.5
Oh and back on top again, I've just seen another mk1 in Caerleon, not sure whos it is as I know pretty much all of them round here. Will have to follow it next time

Re: Mk1's in Wales
Anytime really mate, its all I do at the moment.
Morning to sort out paperwork and stuff like that, head down at about 12, stay till 6-7pm, then go for food and back usually about 7.30 when one of the other lads arrives. Stay till I either get too cold or get so tired its notwise to brandish an angle grinder
You let me know when you want to pop by and I'll try and make sure theres lots to see
Looking forward to tomorrow, its gonna be a varied day, some bodywork to do, a bit of mechanical mockup, try and fix my bike, and follow all that with a bit of suspension work on a spitfire. I have a feeling its gonna be one of those 12 hour minimum days.
the V8 unfortunatly is at another lockup at the mo
Yes the engine does intrude to the seat area
slag with heavy interior
V6 before rebuild and engine after rebuild (is fitted not on a stand now)
Looking sorry in the corner when it blew a head gasket, conveniently just after I moved into the unit
short vid (gotta love private estates)
and this is there
biggest jack we could afford at the time
and most of those pics are old now, its like a mini mk1 meet every day
Can't find any pics of the rest of the 2's

Re: Mk1's in Wales
Looks fantastic, I'll definitely be paying you a visit! Will try to get over sometime next week if possible, but my better half is due our second little one next week too! So it'll depend on the timing of that obviously!
I'm planning on bringing my car back from Ireland around the 12/13th April, so if things get a bit hectic after the baby arrives then I might have to wait till then before getting over to you. Will see how things pan out...

Re: Mk1's in Wales
After many a while admiring the mk1, finally bought one today. A 1989 G plate Hard Top. Currently living nr Aberdare. Interesting in any meets/ summer drives.

Re: Mk1's in Wales
