bubble arched mk1

spotted this on ebay,looks like they`ve been fitted ok but they dont suit the box shape of the mk1,the forest arched autocavan mk1 is the better option. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300668193786?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

 

Oh dear

 

look at his ebay name

 

So so wrong!

 

Bonnet vent is as bad. #vomitous

 

Pics of forest arched autocavan mk1?

 

That's shocking, if car's could cry. [:^(]

Sellers name says it all.

 

hmm hope my arches do not have same reactions

 

some people have no idea, square peg round hole!

 

Ya see I quite like that...it sort of rings my bell..mixing two of the coolest cars ever made (both mk1's which is interesting). The bonnet is a bit 'dance massive' and needs to go and the rear archs look a wee bit boxy & could do with a little tailgate spoiler just to help them.....but overall looks a proper thing...yep I defo think that could be a good'n !......maybe thats why I brought it...

 

ohh dear

 

tbh its not the silliest of prices to have paid for a fairly solid MK1 shell,roll cage and KR lump with twin carbs though is it? arches mau not be everyone's cup of tea but can always take them off or modify them as they are steel and workable

 

As above, someone might of got a good deal with that if the engine and shell really where all good.

 

We all like different things...the world would be a boring place if we didn't. I've been on CGTI for a few years now & looked/viewed /admired/ shaken my head at many things on here...I do geniunely believe..that its always good to be positive...however if me 'new baby' is offensive to some folk than so be it...I still love 'it'.. as only a father could.

 

well I like arches so kinda with you

 

I agree with mk 1 golfs and mk 1 escort being 2 of the coolest cars made

 

Collo yours look much better and still have angles/edges to them, not nearly as curved as the ebay one that just look odd next to all the straight angles of the mk1.

 

I think someone got quite a good deal at 900, although not really to my taste. Depends how good the shell is, of course.

 

Yep that was a good deal, The shell has all steel bubble arches and fully blue printed 16V engine, No its not everyones cup of tea but makes a change from the common Berg cup stuff.


Yes it was my shell.

 

I wondered if it was yours... not that many Mk3 racers in Kent...
