is this a mk1 or 2 auto manual

I always like the BA purple much better than later model purple.

Just remeber valve springs were an issue with early models so once its tuned get them to check it

Looks good mate, as mentioned autos in the BA are terrible and valve springs will need doing 100%.

so should i go manual you reckon? ive got a fair chunk of cash spare, but i still need to fix tint/headlining and there are a few scrapes on the side skirts. but that can wait, id love a manual, and also explain to me about the valve springs, whats the negatives on them?

have been buying things off ebay, new pads and rotors/bigger intake and new badges for the whole car.

also looking into getting it detailed next week should hopefully come up nice.

heres a few more pics sorry its dirty
