Were retro nuts in our house.
We have:
'85 VW Golf Cabriolet GL (was a 1.6 carb but now has a 1.8. Owned for 5 years, fitted with leather, polished Scala wheel and tints)
'71 VW Beetle 1302LS LHD Karmann Cabriolet (undergoing bareshell, body off restoration)
'87 VW Caravelle 2.1 Auto (started as a Caravelle but becoming my demo vehicle, so its got Porsche Cayenne 18" rims, -40mm drop, South African grilles, Porsche electric seats, tints all round and loads more to come)
Last but not least - the love of my life:
'79 Ford Fiesta Monte Carlo works rally rep (started life as a genuine 2 owner, 48k 1100L - now due to be fitted with cage, buckets, fully adjustable triangulated suspension and Bilstein camber adj. struts, AP Racing brakes (4 pot front, 2 pot rear with flyoff & brake bias), 180bhp+ Xflow based on 771 XR2 block with steel rockers, Cosworth A6 cam, Duplex gear, Cosworth crank and pistons, dry sump, twin weber 45DCOEs and 4 branch, running off Lucas Opus 'R' ignition, twin Facet pumps all pushed out through Hewland box and LSD with centrelock Magnesium 6x13 'snow' wheels
Been collecting the info for this build for 7 years. Parts are nearly there, donor car is mint so as soon as the new garage is done I will be playing.
