Hello all, Well here's my Mk3 Tina, I've owned her for just over 2 years. She spent 19 years in a barn so is pretty solid all round, I'm in the process of customising her further...as with these things they're never ending projects!   ![]()  Current focus is on tidying up the engine bay with a light bit of fine tuning, pics to follow... |

Liking it. Have you ever heard of Classic Cars on the Prom down in Christchurch/Bournemouth? I'm just up the A338 from you in Downton.

That's really nice. How long ago was it found in a scrapyard like that? Even 20 years ago it would have been a jaw-dropper to see a two door in a breakers looking complete and solid!

Cheers pal, yeah that's her!
Been sat most of the summer while I tinker with bits, there's a car show at the end of September that I'm hoping she's *finished* for.
*as if they're ever finished!*

 Painted and replaced 2000 sticker, new radiator and cap and new air filter. Still a long way from how I want it to look but she's getting there! |
