Anyone know any history of this car;

Current owner has been very helpful and up front so hoping there's nothing he doesn't know that I should know this close to parting with the cash!

Thanks,

I sorry I don't know any history about the K3 except it was on Pistonheads earlier this year for £4,300.

It looks excellent, I did enquire regarding the extend wheel archs, but i got no reply.

Talking to the owner earlier he doesn't know where the arches came from, they look a bit like Golf (Mk1) maybe. Pics http://forum.performancevwmag.com/viewtopic.php?t=46162&sid=e63bf9b01ee4d05cdcb9d9f7a2ace7f3

OK I have the car. Seems to be well known (read used:-) and a good running project for me. Found a few pics around the net from 2005 as well.

Recent photos here.

First jobs will be;
- Adjust ride height, suspension geometry (done yesterday)
- Remove rear wing to see how it looks without it
- Roll bar or roll cage (safety, reduce shell twist)
- Re-cover or replace seats
- Source new headlamp covers
- Refit clams using 'lift and rotate' adjustable hinges

Future
- Paint job to restore original colour (gel coat is faded)
- MGTF subframes (so I can ditch the Hydragas)
- Engine upgrade to 1.8 or KV6

Anyone else got any history, previous owners etc of this car then let me know, good or bad

Rossa bits will provide you with headlight covers.

Hiya, I can send you some pics of a yellow k3 if you like to get a feel without the rear wing ? Also like your Marlin, I will send you some pics of my Marlin also, the site will not let me up load pic for some reason. If you send me your email

Thanks, I'll pick some up at Newark then.

I almost bought my old Marlin but it needs too much work after 20 years and 11 owners.
