    The beige beauty

    As my GTI is getting passed onto my cousin to under-go a complete resto I felt the need to go on another MK1 hunt for my daily services as I sold my TTS 8J recently.

    Some of you NSW boys might know this car, I bought it from Manwell in NSW. Its been through a few make overs to say the least!

    Original 1.6L engine, 3 speed auto, although the carby needed slight fuel adjustments (thanks peter). I also replaced the pads, new CV boot, full service, fluid flush etc when I picked it up.

    Few rust spots in the usual places, but nothing to tragic.

    A fresh set of BBS RS, height adjustments & camber adjustments transformed the car. We gave the car a cut and polish over the weekend...I'll let the photos do the talking. Enjoy guys

    At least you know if you come across it at the lights any granny in a Datsun 120y will blow the doors off it.

    Does look f***'n good.

    What are you doing with the MK2?

    Dope work Gordie. Love the beige/chrome combo, window trims fit in perfect with the RS'.

    Such a simple yet perfect effect, good work!
