Sounds like an awesome mk1 that has been tastefully modified with some sweet performance upgrades. A mk1 GTS Smile

Dominique check this color out

That looks like a lovely rust free shell you have there - UK guys would give their eye teeth for something like that. Enjoy the build and thanks for sharing; lovely pictures too.

Yea saw it.
When I looked at the car the first time I had to do a double take. Thought there was one missing out my yard.

I'd love to see the two of them next to each other in the flesh.

Lovely project K-za. I’m busy with an early car myself. Do you know if yours is a Blackheath or Motor Assemblies baby?

Then I want to ask a favour. If (and only if) you decide to redo the dash cards, door cards and rear quarter panel cards, I’d be very keen to see what the ones look like that were in the car. My car’s upholstery is quite tatty and since I’m going for factory original I could do with some good second hand cards (if you’d consider getting rid of the old ones that is)
