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!*

Very nice indeed  Amazing how different it looks with twin round lights instead of the rectangular ones it originally had

 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!
