Hello from as far north as you can go
Hi all
My name is Monica and I have a 1987 Mk1 1.6 T Bar in red. The poor car has seen better days unfortunately, it was originally silver and someone resprayed it red and didn't do the hidden parts like in behind the bonnet, etc! They have tried to do the rear arches and it looks like it's been filled with mashed tatties or something! I put it through a test last year after replacing the steering rack, suspension and complete exhaust, it also needed extensive welding underneath. It runs away very well and I love driving it. I also have a mk1 golf cabrio so the car doesn't get a lot of running. It has 103k miles on it.
I think there is one other mk1 mr up this way but they're very scarce now and my one may not last much longer either! The last time I had it on the road was december 08 and more holes are starting to appear almost on a daily basis. She was vandalised being coined badly up one side and the tyres cut in december so she has been laid up til now. I just lashed some paint on the scratches and put new tyres on haven't done anything else to her. I guess she's not a very clean model but I would be interested in some of the meets if I am allowed to go in the state she's in!!
Great forum by the way!

Thanks for the warm welcome, I hope there will be something I can go to in the Aberdeenshire area or further north if it's possible.

If you like organising things, you could try setting up a meet (in the scotland section) to see if there is any interest for those 'oop north' to meet up.
just pop a post up there

Re: Hello from as far north as you can go - Pic Added!
Here's my car, I have put these wheels on it and the stripes have now been removed.
***Mod edit - pic too big. See pic below***
I hope this works as I am not sure how to post pics.

It's worked, but it's too big
Can you re-size it to 800 x 600 please?

Thank you
Looks like a nice one. What are those wheels though? I'm sure I've seen another member on here with similar ones...
