Brilliant! Looks to be in fantastic condition. All the best, mate.![]()
I've been hanging out for a project car for a year+ now and I finally found a Mk1 3 door. The search has been long, with a few near misses, but it's complete!
There's tidying up to do, but overall its in great condition.
Plans are:
1) Keep the outside minty fresh/period patina
2) Good suspension and some wider 14/15's with sticky rubber.
3) I want to go 2.0L crossflow/counterflow 8v and run some Weber DCOEs, but use programmable ignition.
4) Interior needs a full refurb/strip out. I want some oldschool race seats, like on the early 911s/minis/fiats.
Things I need are:
1) A black dash, no cracks.
2) The lever/lock for the left hand opening vent window, it's gone and I want to glue one back on.
Any help would be appreciated

Clean find. Body's straight and no rust. What more could you ask for! I'll keep a close eye on this thread. How did you come across her mate?
Thanks all, I bought it from a guy in Geelong. He had posted briefly on aussieveedubbers about a Mk1 that he had sitting and I said I'd be interested. I have a deck to finish on the house first, after that, its on.
I just ordered some Spax RSX coilovers for him (my wife has named him Andy), which should arrive in a few weeks.
Jealous. I also knew of this car in VIC and was hoping to buy it one day.
Used to be owned by greasykitchen (stephen) from SA.
