    Cheers for all the replies and praise. I took a lot of effort to get it to the point it is now. And that's not just hours, there was weeks when I did nothing. I was helping a friend with his project and that really gave me the motivation to get it finished.

    There are plenty of clean GTIs around but the 1.3s and 3 doors seem to have disappeared. Going to keep it original now.

    There is something refreshing about driving a car with no modern equipment. Manual steering, keep fit windows, no on board computer. Only one speaker works on the radio so I usually do even turn it on!

    I have a friend who has a 1990 Mercedes 190. Windey windows, tartan cloth interior, hubcaps not alloys and black bumpers. Thats what luxury cars were like. You have a beautiful bog standard white 1.3. Every morning you see it you'll be happy it's yours
