1977 mk1 3door
not many mods n stuff. myes.
i love you all, dont let the bed bugs bite you in ze goat assssss



Edit : just looked. what the HELL!
(so far) four people voted, but SOMEONE didnt put whether they had a 3 or 5 door.
this poll runs on honesty people, how on earth can we get clear results with these sort of shenaninanigans!?

[gldgti]

theres already a lot of off topic on here guys - mods delete this at your will (after its been read a bit)

my vote was floored because i have a 77 and a 79, both 4 doors, so i ticked 77, 79 and 5 door, but the 5 door option will count as only one car, when infact i have 2.

My (other) pride and joy is a...

'76 5 door 'something or other' (I have no idea what it is)



I think it is a standard 1600 with 4 speed (a 32/36 Webber going on real soon)

Mods already on the car when I bought it with include:
- Mk2 steering wheel
- a really loud exhaust
- black 'GT racing' stripes on the bonnet (which add at least 15kW )
- crap 'bronze' paint on the stock wheels
- and wonky bumperbars

What can I say, a work in progress...

I added an extra point in 5 door for you gldgti, just so the poll is accurate.
If this happens to anyone else, let me know, i can edit the poll. Keen to see results on this.

I stuffed up my vote. Forgot to put in my 83.

At the moment a
76 LS , White currently having everything repaired
79 GLD X 2, One old daily beater with a list of mod's as long as my arm & the other the replacement shell. Both Diamond Metallic Silver
80 GLD, White used as a part's storage.

And my favorite
83 Alpine White GTI Campaign. All original on the outside & inside but the parts you don't see are Koni adjustables, Jamex spring's, rear disc conversion, braided lines, Mk2 master cyl. & booster & my old daily beater 1.8 engine. (20VT in the build)

Have to whore the pic again



But I definately miss the old beater. Will rebuild it one day.
