JINXY IS BACK !!!

Post by Tony jinxy froude »

Hiya guys, as you know I have been absent from the MK1 forums for a while, partly due to the unfortunate news that my Lovely Mica blue MK1 has terminal rot in all the usual places, the car has been stored in Bedford at a mechanic mates barn until he got a chance to take a proper look at the rot, but its worse than first thought, even though from the floor up the car is virtually immaculate, so with this in mind I went hunting for a donor car & have finally found one, a 1990 Mica blue MK1 on a 'G' reg 81k miles fully documented history file been stored for 10 years, but not without its faults although minor ones, not really as problem as literally everything is going to be stripped from it & everything is going to be stripped my my old Mica blue Mk1 & swapped over onto the new shell, so the Jinxy Mobile will live again, its a lot of work I know, but worth it, even though I have the Porsche I could never be without the Mk1, hope to get more involved on the MK1 scene now, so expect more news & pics as soon as my old mK1 is delivered back to me & the work begins, cheers, Jinxy :thumleft:

Welcome back. Though have seen you and we've kept in touch isn't it about 6 years since you were active on here
:D ?

Shocked to hear you're existing car has had it but gives you chance to make another one! Keep us all posted with parts you didn't need when moving things over :lol:

Looking forward to seeing you and the new car....

LOL ! cheers Andy, yes its been a while, cant believe its been 6 year though !!.... has it ???. Yes im really looking forward to starting work on the car, fortunate thing is that I know what im letting myself in for !!, there will be plenty of parts left over for sale when im done along with the ever growing mountain of parts already here !!, I currently have 3 Mica blue MK1's on the drive, ( had 4 yesterday but Tom Maitland collected his car he left here for me to work on ) then in the next few weeks I get my old one back !, Mandy is also looking for a Red MK1B coupe to replace her tired MK1A & that will probably end up here as well !!, hope your well Andy & hope to see you all very soon, Jinx

You won't get into JAE with the porky :thumleft:

You've got more than six months, I'll be there with a can waiting.

Hi Jinxy. Long time no speak. At least your nick name has stood up to the test of time.

a lesser spotted jinxy is almost as rare as short toed crazylegs. you may find them lurking in the under growth.
Some thought both were extinct but there has just been a period of long hibernation.
Strange coincidence they both appeared at around the same time.
long time mate.
