Show us your mk1

[bobrocco]

Hi All

I thought you would all like to see what I have been working on over the last 8 months at TUK Customs (check out the link below)- some of you may have seen the MK1 shell at Edition 38 - well here are the pics from start to nearly finished.

Over the next couple of weeks I intend to get the engine in and on the road (hopefully ready for Westside???)

The car maybe up for sale at the end of the year as i have been offerd a job with work in Austraila (gutted!! but looking forward for the new challenge)

If you are intrested for the complete spec please contact me

looks good

[shavhead]

well, let me tell you a story....
How far would you go to get a TS?
Following an epic journey, across 5 countries, 1300 miles in 34 hours... and I have me a lovely, all original, never welded, no rust, fully roadworthy, 1974 TS!
OH MY GOD!!!!!
Had it a fortnight now and I still have to double-take it when I see it languishing on my drive every morning.
Owned by one family up until a year ago, and used daily.
Manufacture date: 30th July 1974.

So my question to you is-
Was it worth it?

[fourmk1s]

Wow , that is a beautiful car.
Well worth the long journey to get a rust free and original example like that.
I wish mine looked that good.

[81GTi]

WOW! very nice!! now that is Palma Green?

[Tempest]

Congrats to that find and acquisition
