What do you need
I'm looking for a Mk1a front bumper (I now know I have a mk1a thanks to you haha)
And looking for a back window sun visor

Everything else is in great condition for her age.

Post a WTB ad on the forum in the right section . You never know what people have in their sheds. I reckon you might get the back window visor locally.

How bad is your bumper ?

Anyway theres a bumper on trade me at present not sure if 1a or not

guy before me said he replaced it but it was just bogged for days. 450mm wide bog job. paint keeps cracking on it after 4 weeks of it being sprayed.
ill take a look. i would love to get a Mk1a but might be able to settle for a mk1 b.

I used to own this car about 15 years ago. It was absolutely mint. Sold it back to the original owner who bought it new in 1985 and kept it for 13 years. Sounds like it's changed hands since and had a rough time...

If you mean my car, hard to tell with no number plate showing. Also if it is thats all good, its actually still mint. just had the front bumper "replaced" but someone did a bog job instead about 5 years ago (ive had it for 3 years)

I'm really happy to hear it's still in the hands of an enthusiastic owner. It's a very special car - the 3rd ever to be sold new in New Zealand.
