Last time round it was slammed, ish, on the ronals, as they ar 15's they still knocked the bumpstops and driveshafts on the chassis.

A couple of pics from yesteryear; as she usually ran round.

Cheers mate, my dad had a 1.5 gl, i think that's what got me started on them, though it a darker blue than mine.

My first golf was a champagne coloured (read gold) 1300 driver, was ace!! Loved it to bits, Had a full gti interior. Might have to dig up some photos.

Auto is the lazy way to drive, fun times.

Just found some videos that i made from when i installed the carbs, thought i'd share. Excuse the narrator, he was a little overjoyed that he managed to get it running. :wacko:

cheers guys!

Just gotta get it through it's MOT tomorrow morning. Failed at the weekend.

Nothing major though, steering rack gaiters, coilover locking rings needed tightening, wipers weren't working (fuse) emissons were well out.

Hehe, cheers, there are better examples, though if you've got rose tinted glasses then it's all good.

Si, don't worry, turned it all back up now, ran like shite when it was all leaned off.

Camping was a success at the weekend, even though it's puffing blue smoke when i get back on the throttle, never mind, only a problem for the folks behind me. Guess the valve seals are out.

Hehe, you have to in that car park, though to be fair the space behind isn't big enough for another car as it's trapezoidal (sp.)

Almost alone, here is a pic from years ago you can just make out a van behind me though pretty much on my own in that one too.
