Hi all, thought I'd pop up and say hello. Bought a cheap mk1a for a project and looking to restore to original condition. Mainly joined up for advice, parts and to get to know everyone and posibly attent meets once she is up and running

I'm from Manchester and noticed a few people breaking MK1's not far from me, just need the how to even from basics!

Never done anything really mechanical before aside from changing wheels and headlights in my Golf but I know this will be far more of a challenge! It is currently SORN and will be staying so until roadworthy! (Nowhere near at the moment).

Have a friend who works at Eurocar Parts and got me rear ball joints, disks and pads all round and front track rod ends for £100. Haven't bought them yet as would like to know if it's a good price etc.

So anyway, hello everyone!
