AdamF Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 A little update, car is running nicely. Had my new exhaust system fitted today, got a funny look from the guy when I asked him for it be as quiet and standard looking as possible. Heres the results: Got some original wheel nuts so have fitted the original centre caps and FINALLY found a parcel shelf not cut for 6x9s. Upgraded the standard dash speakers today, what a ballache! Next up is to replace the speedo lights as a couple have died... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamF Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Really? The paintwork looks original to me mate? No sign of any gold anywhere, not even under the rust! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamF Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Little update, lots of little things sorted including getting electric windows working and replacing the worn front seats with some much better original items. Other than that I've been driving it and enjoying it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Wow can't believe someone ruined a two tone MK1 by taking those trims off. It doesn't mean its an Advance it means it was an incredibly rare colour choice which was only available on MK1 GTs. And nice options aswell with the sunroof & ABS. Keep up the good work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamF Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Not really a fan of the original paintwork despite it being rare. Happy to keep it green Quote Link to post Share on other sites
