You better not sell your other GTi! (listen to me telling people not to sell the car i sold 
) looks lovely though mate, even though it's not jap!

How in God's name did you get a Mk1 GTi for £200!? 
Some of even the bad ones go for a lot more than that!
I think the Mk1s lovely cars, and somewhat agree with Sprint, although I do like some of the later ones. Put a Mk3 2.0 16v engine in and you'll have a flying machine.

it came in as a part-ex at fiat next door to me. is so much fun to drive,just covered 300 miles in it this weekend,and hasnt missed a beat. suprisingly quick,and the handling is still as good as it was 23 years ago.
was planning to sell it on,but think the almera may go,and spend some money on the golf.will always hold its value,if not go up.and the temptation to drop a 20v turbo in......a few more pics.

Well done man, thats real nice!
How many miles has it done?

err,lets not talk about the mileage,haha.its done 178,000 miles.but runs like a dream! uses a bit of oil as you'd expect.is still pretty quick,feels nice and smooth. the only things that let it down are a small dent on the passenger door,and the rear panel is a bit rotten.but nothing structural. been offered 1k for it,so not a bad profit!!
did some final work today,painted the red grille trim,and re-silvered the badges.looks a treat! will get some more pics up soon.

if i decide to keep it,will stay as it is.will just fit a new manifold and exhaust,and thats it!

nice looking vehicle, was looking at one of those as my show car for next year.
My plans were too smooth it out and EURO it.
Didnt get it in the end but got some plans for a show car for next year
