Hi Everyone,
Brought my self a 85 cabriolet locally in Washington, brought from family from new and only had 2 family members drive it. low miles, LHD, runs and drives, has AC and power steering but needs some love and few things are not working, but who wants to buy a perfect mk1 anyhow! :laugh:
Plan is to get it running and working 100% and then I will focus on body work, interior and suspension, wheels and other areas I am thinking about upgrading.
Biggest issue to focus on straight away is a good clean inside and out, its seen better days!
Will do some research on best places to buy parts for this cab, but where do most people buy their parts for general servicing of engine parts - oil filters, air filters, spark plugs, leads, timing belt, other belts? Local auto parts or online companies?
Here is car!
Hopefully should be fun project and I hope to share my experience, what I learn, how I fix things and overall get to meet some like minded people who enjoy mk1s as I hope I do!
Thanks Si
