I think you should buy my mk1 berg cup arches :)

Will need to be spesh though like this one

Lookin well Martin

I couldn't justify getting Bergs then having to get some wide wheels to justify the wide arches. The look is very cool though, but not for me really.

Will check that link when i'm home from work, Nick!

Update 5. 19th August 2010

The Derby has been at home a couple of months now much to my parents' disbelief! My dad reckons we'll have gypsies round asking to tow it away for scrap metal in all seriousness.

Attended Stonor Park, Bristol Volksfest, BVF and the Polo Show and saw a handful of mk1's [both Polo and Derby] at the latter two and that really gave me inspiration to get mine on the road.

I'm at the 'collecting parts' and 'getting prices for repair panels' stage, me and my brother have a shortlist [should be named a longlist in this instance] of panels for her.

After seeing retrowagen1234 advertising a pair of solid wings I knew I had to have them, unfortunately one was sold by the time I got there but I managed to get a drivers' side wing which I was happy with.

After a chat to Vic [euro-derby] at the Polo Show I knew I needed to replaced the front panel as mine was shot, I didn't want to get it repaired for it to rot again so I bit the bullet and got a brand new front panel from retrowagen1234.

I thought i'd treat myself to a Hella spotlamp grille that toby aka bitz007 was selling; brand new in the box... It arrived today and i'm chuffed. I hope the move to round headlamps pays off.

Just enough room to clip in my MK1 GT badge onto when I find it!

Sorry for the hoarde of grile pictures, in my eyes it really is a historical artefact!

Here is a list of panels I know I definitely need still...

Drivers' side wing

Pair of Sill repair panels

Pair of rear arch repair panels

I may need a pair of doors... Hopefully I can get all the parts required before the end of the year.

Mint! love the hella grille, i was very tempted by it but its just not for me

As with the Mk3 hella grilles, they're very marmite...

I just happened to like marmite

You still putting the GT head and cam on it then martin?

I didnt know you could put them on the earlier engines like whats in it.

Max

That GT head and cam were bought as a spare...

I purchased a 72k GT engine and ancillaries last weekend, hopefully for the Derby!
