Hi, new poster on here but ive been looking for quite a while, just wanna say its a great site and its finally convinced me to get some retro, ive owned this for a couple of weeks now, geniune 47k with excellent bodywork etc, just needs some tinkering & a few tasteful mods, dropping, wheels etc. Thanks all for the inspiration   |

I think my welcome is better here than the other thread! Love it a propper Mk4 with vinyl roof and dart boards, lovely, none of this modern 'Cortina 80' rubbish.   ;D what a minter it will be lowered.  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Ooh, very nice. Quite a find you've got there. I really like it as it is. Try just lowering it on those wheels.
What's wrong with the mk5/80 anyway?

Smiler, it was just a bad joke! Our latest vehicle is a Mk5 '82 1.6GL! I can never work out which model i like best; Mk4 and MK5, I didn't actually realise till a few months back how different they actually are. don't see many about and extra retro points for being a bit older. Anyway, I'll get me coat, having a bad day... |

I can't remeber tha last time I saw a mk4. Then again, I've only seen one other mk5 in the last two years.

Looks great,.. loving the plans for it... Glad we could be of service to help inspire If DarrenW were around I'm sure he could dig out those pictures of the dutch Mk4/5's that we found in the first week of this forum existing... They would be great inspiration! |

Lovely tina there. I miss mines. I like the colour too
Its odd, in Scotland i hardly ever see any but every time ive made a trip down to England i see several in one day. When i was in glastonboury (the village not the festival) i saw 5 that day, all within hours, one was a lovely lime green mk4. And then i saw at least 2 more on the way home. They all looked like they were used as every day cars too, was cool to see, a very rare sight now. Its like Capris up here, i almost see a new one every day, theres loads round here.
