My mk1b

Hi all, long time lurker first time poster here :P
Here's my MR, an '89 NA, 128k miles (ish).

Bought it a year and a half ago now, had a low(er) mileage 'box, new clutch, recon steering rack, new front shocks and drop links, discs and pads, cam/alternator belts, a nicer condition steering wheel (mine was sunbleached yellow...) and had a rear arch repaired (other one looks to have been done very well previously).

Non-standard bits are a nice set of 14" TOM'S Igetas that I bought from a lad on Driftworks and had acid dipped and powdercoated satin gold, a used but good condition Scorpion s/s backbox, square front numberplate that I've mounted off-centre, VW-style stubby aerial, some aftermarket replacements for the 4 cabin speakers, and the "manual" choke mod.

But you don't care about that, have some photo's!
When I got it:




As it is now:








A lot more info and pictures on my retro-rides blog here, I'm going to make a build thread here at some point to echo it, but in the meantime check it out if you like

Welcome to the club!

I've edited your post so that the pictures show

That's a very nice looking car you have there. Nice to see someone doing something a bit different with the wheels as well - I think they work really well

Oops, forgot to format with img tags after copying all the links in, thanks
Thanks, I really like how the wheels have turned out

Hello and welcome.

Love the colour, definitely the best.

The wheels are a bit lost on me, I don't really understand the preoccupation with different alloys but if we were all the same it would not be much fun.

Maybe see you at a meet or two?
