Hello Peeps, I have been hiding around this forum for some years now! Not very active i am afraid 😞 I have had a number of Mk2 Polos, a red Coupe S, a white Classic and a 18K miles Breadvan the latter of which is still owned by a family friend and only used in fine weather!! However, a friend recently offered me first viewing on his grans old car. A one owner from new 1978 Derby GLS! It was too good an offer to turn down as these are hard to come by! However, I am now in unknown territory so may need some help along the way during the recommissioning! I am looking to keep as standard and as original as possible but just tidy up around the edges. Some welding to the off side cill and a flaky rear wing edge hopefully are the worst of the body issues. But I do have some questions and no doubt more will crop up along the way! Any help advice is welcomed!! Initial queries are: - Where do i find an exhaust system or does this have to be made specially if repairs cannot be done locally. - I want to put a cam belt and water pump on and have found this - is this correct and the best place to buy this from? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1X-GATES-TIMING-BELT-KIT-VW-DERBY-0-9-1-0-1-1-1-3-77-84/373130270404?fits=Car+Make%3AVW|Model%3ADerby|Cars+Type%3A1.3|Plat_Gen%3A86|Cars+Year%3A1978|BodyStyle%3ASaloon|Variant%3A86+[1977-1981]+Saloon|Engine%3A1272ccm+60HP+44KW+(Petrol)&hash=item56e04c16c4:g:DeoAAOSw-OpfIQ-y The car needs what I think will be a few hard parts - Near side rear wing plastic spat / trim - the one on the car is cracked and I suspect this has caused the crispy wing edge - End caps to the side trims - around 2 are missing from the trims - Clips for the trims on the side of the car - one is missing - Chrome trims on the wing front edges around the lights. I know these are hard to come by. I was contemplating 3D printing some solid plastic ones and sticking on with glue if a pattern could be found. I know plastic can be chromed so this may be an option if I am struggling. All in all I can't wait to pick him up and get started 🙂 Hope you like the pictures!

Hi, this might be a long shot but I’m looking for a mk2 derby/classic to restore. There doesn’t seem to be many for sale, but I’m very fond of them so if I can get my hands on one I’ll be very pleased 😁 I’ve seen about 5 for sale across all the sites I’ve found (including facebook marketplace) so I’m aware I’m not exactly spoiled for choice, but ideally I’d like one with the round style headlights and manual choke, and preferably stock or able to be returned to stock. Thanks for reading! If anyone has ideas on where else to look those would be welcome too!
