and you tell him 'Yes, it is."

Repaired the aftermarket Alternator/air con bracket (god bless Austral VW Brisbane for installing aftermarket air con units in the cabrios they sold!), put a brass sleeve in a flogged out alternator pivot bolt hole and voila no rattle anymore!

You know you drive a mk1 when every time you close the boot, you have to adjust the parcel shelf.

You know you drive a mk1 when every time you get into multistory carpark, 3rd is the only gear that wants to work.

You know you drive a mk1 when every time you get out of it you walk around it, just to have a look.

You know you drive a mk1 when smoothing your engine bay things like heaters and washer bottles seem so pointless.

You know you drive a mk1 when you have to put ur foot behind the go pedel and lift it to get the auto box to change into 3rd.

You know you drive a mk1 when fixing the wiring that just caught fire, you lent on the 33 yr old waterpipes, making it crack and having to replace it, and yet still smiling

She'll start but only if you put you foot to the floor and then only for a few seconds then die... mechanic said something about timing then promptly left saying he'll be back tomorrow.... then never came back. no biggie never charged me and left me a brand new battery, dads got a diesel mechanic mate that should be coming round to have a look soon.
