I like that, looks practical/functional the tree bars look quality. I wouldn't have a bobtail myself as you loose to much boot space having to put the tank in there.
I want one of them light bars for my racer but they are a bit pricey at the mo.

I know that ! I was wondering as a percentage how many were 3door?
Cause there were thousands upon thousands of D1's made so if its like say 10% that's a small percentage but still a lot of cars.

The 'how many left' website says there's 24 thousand tdi models on the road in total. 5 years ago it was 55 thousand and ten years ago there were 65 thousand. It doesn't detail 3 or 5 door though. It does show that the early models are disappearing pretty fast.

love my J plated 3 door diesel,
its just me,
a key,
and a diesel engine.
still in shiney factory black with the silver/grey side vynals.
yes I done the "some" bits on the floors/inner wings/body to chassis mounts/behind the headlights/bits on the bulkhead/repaired the rear crossmember/repaired the sills also.
yes it has the blight of a few corrosion bubbles coming through on the front edge of passenger door and some on the rear arches, oh its got the same next to the rear number plate, but now its solid for qite a few years to come.
Ironically, I saw its twin parked on the seafront here yesterday
unusall being black plus factory vynal on it and not been fecked about with.
ya daft bugger,that was your disco's reflection in the shop window.

Mines a 3 door too. Ive just stripped out all the carpets to paint the floor and found rust holes behind the plastic covers that hide the electrics in each footwell. You can get at these areas by taking the wings off too. Could be urs is leaking here too?

It could of been, but i had mine off the road for 8 months doing it up and i sorted those areas when i had the wings off. I am pretty sure its the door seal as i have sorted everywhere else. I have cut the soundproofing in the drivers footwell so its easy to remove n wring out, but when the weather improves i will be stripping it all out again n doing a hose pipe test to trace where the water is coming in.
Passenger side n boot are all ok now
