Gunther the MK1 project

[Jace]

EDIT: You beat me to it!

Looks pretty good man.
Cabby bumpers?

Think the bumpers are from a MK2, not sure.

[Preen59]

Correct.

Hi gunther hahaha, i reckon the bumpers and rims look pretty good! Dont see the bumpers on mk1's that often

All depends on personal taste i guess. Let another project begin yaaay! Once the project has begun would love to come and see it in the flesh

It's very 90's. Not really totally my thing but if you put the time into fixing it right up it could look cool!

I prefer the skinny bumpers, but like you say it's all personal taste.

More than welcome to see it in the flesh (and give a hand!!) once i start.

In south africa they have alot of mk1 with big mk2 style "jumbo" bumpers on them. looked pretty good too. Although if you're going for a retro look its a no no.

Although i havnt seen a mk1 in aus with those style bumpers before, was that made to fit or bought ready to go for the mk1??

Not sure, I bought the car as is.

I've seen hundreds of them in South Africa with the jumbo bumpers, so I'm a bit over it - that's why I'm going fot the skinny one's.

The bumpers on Gunther have got a few cracks/scratches; easy to fix with fibreglass.

Oh - my Betty would love to meet you Gunther

Once Gunther is "prettied" up, he can meet Betty. Good luck with the project. Will be keen to see progress!

[GeorgeMK1]

Hahaha, exact reason im over them aswell. Have you resided in S.A or how abouts have you seen them?

As for the repair, yes, my old kit was put together by fibreglass, LOL the beauty of it when it cracks = easy fix!
