	Hi, ive been looking on here for a while but never got round to posting. Heres a few pics of my mk1 derby, I bought her about 4 years ago but due to funds didnt start the restoration till winter 2005, after working on her almost every night for over a year I have finished, me and my mate did all the work in my parents garage. hope you like. I went to ultimate dubs a few weeks ago and Golf+ magazine are featuring her in a few months, I was so pleased! Sorry for all the photos, ive got hundreds! Theres a full restoration on the clubpolo forum in the photo and video gallery under 'ressurection of the derby'

I'm just gonna strip usable parts from it and scrap it

	Indeed I sold the shell, too bad the previous owner doesn't have the pics online anymore, when it was a whole car, it was in great shape... We both needed the parts and the shell went to someone else, I'm not a derby kinda guy (still love them thought)

Thankyou, i relly like your Audi The dash and door cards are original, but the seats have been retrimmed as they were quite damaged from the sun. Originally the front seats would have had headrests but i removed these to make it look more old skool!
