Another MKI nut joins the Calvary

[EndlessMKI]

Howdy guys, didn't realise there were so many of us out there in Aust.

To cut to the chase MKI's are all i've ever driven so i've had many. At present I'm trying to get a 2 door 76 with a 2L ABF running. It's been a year but hope to finish around late feb.

I'm pretty supprised to see few of the guys on here taking on a 20V motor but that was only a matter of time i guess :P

Just some pics for now.

Excellent mate, I`m in Camden and there are guys coming from Kingsgove, Bexley and the City. Should be quite a crue this weekend.

[EndlessMKI]

There are lots of us into Mk1s but we were isolated until now. This forum is one perpetual swopmeet, everything you could want turns up on here sooner or later.

Welcome from the southern tip.
There's plenty of us Golf freaks down here.
Had lots of experience with track cars too.
I can usually point you in the right direction.
