A lowered notch will always do it for me more than stocko height. Not necessarily slammed, but just bring it down a few inches for a start. You could always go the "French look" for something different. Keep the green paint and put some funky/lairy graphics down the middle of the car. There was a bright orange notch with silver graphics I remember in one of the mags a while back, that was shweet.

I have wanted that car for many many many years. The owner who I can't remember just wouldn't part with it. I havn't seen it around for a few years & looking at the state in which u found it I now know why. I hope u give it a good home & cherish it as I would have.

PS I think those wheels are rare Italian made wheels They would look excellent polished. I know a polisher at Kanwal that does excellent work for half the price of Sydney polishers

that is a nice score.
i agree with dasdubber about lowering it a bit. add some swaybars and good shocks and up the power a bit.... mmmmmm
the wheels are Ronal wheels made in germany. i don't think that there are more than a few sets in australia. that makes the car an even better score.

Excellent score, 2guns!!! :thumb:thumb:thumb
The wheels are probably every bit as desirable as the car. I notice you already have a rear sway bar fitted too. :thumb The wash certainly made a huge difference. 😀
Ps. your mate Saint looks almost identical to my uncle!! I really had to look hard. :o

hey jakriz... the guy i bought it of. had the notch for about 4 yrs. he bought it of the undertaker who sold it when he realised he was moving... it was sold all fixed up but in pieces. fred put it together for his daughter who drove it a while. but when the throttle cable broke it was pushed aside where it sat for two years...
if anyone is interested there is also a mark1 golf sitting there which also belonged to the daughter. FREE to a good home i think i you ask him... if anyone is interested let me know.

keeps getting better.... went to show the better half the new arrival. (again she was away at the moment temptation struck). any way was doing a little tidying and checking what needs replacing.... all the electricals worked and all the lights and switches worked. a little fiddle with the n/plate light got it to shine but then i blew the bulb. but to say the least all is going great.
the only one hick is one of the front discs calipers (funny thing it has been replaced as it has 'vwpc' written on it.) wont let go of one of the bleeder valves... everything else on neville has been perfect. go figure huh.
are front disc calipers replacable??? ie can i get new ones.
