I think MJ has same colour?

Somehow have found this quite difficult to take good pic where colour is showing right, often it gets too dark or too bright.

Oh yes, in last pic no photoshop used, I don't know how but those shiny things just happened to come to pic, I'm pretty sure that did not pushed any fancy buttons of cam either

Thanks, now i see....

You're quite right, MJ's car is that colour too...and it certainly is lovely!

cheers

James

Get that beauty back on the road, Jani!

Yup, ours is that colour as well, but an F reg, so not the one James is thinking about.

Your car looks in pretty good condition from those pics Jani, good luck with getting the problems sorted out!

Jani, how come you have a rear wing mounted aerial? is that a Mk2 left-over?

Aftermarket, my car has had no aerial at all when it came from factory, because of tax reasons radios were installed at dealer, so they just drilled hole to side.

I actually have antenna part somewhere too, but as I have no radio I have took it away, every little bit less drag helps

Thanks from comments guys

Yeah, my GLT has got an antenna like this http://koti.mbnet.fi/mtn/images/autot/GLT/puhdasta.JPG which almost every 300-series in here has. I've not seen many stock roof aerials in here..

We got weird taxing system in the 80's, all accessories were heavily taxed and engines above 2l were also heavily taxed. (That's why we got the B19 engine, which is 2cc below 2l )

I think the army is affecting your brain B20, B19 and B200 are all 1986cc

Fuse, you should consider bit more dry storage place for your car

That taxing was why most of our 200-series cars have 2l engines like B19&B200, not so much effect to 300 series.

Foggy is right about engine size, maybe also from army affecting brain Nah, I suck in math too, nothing to worry about

Bought as a replacement for crashed Golf. Temporarily.

I'm certain that after a couple of hundred kms sitting on comfortable seats using that 2.0 litre engine with rear wheel drive and a quirky transaxle layout you'll never want to go back to Golfs again

I wrote that still hating this car, especially after the company's Audi I've been driving while having nothing else to drive. But now I'm slowly starting to like it. Though it's really hard to steer and the second gear is awful to shift to.

hello there haven't put any pics up yet so here u go they go from before and after LOL
