mk1.5 build thread

[samdodds]

hey guys

recently picked up a mk1 GLD for a reasonable price of $550, the car is pretty much worth what the coilovers are worth in it. couple of rust patches, mainly on the left front guard and some minor rust in the boot lining. plans to get a mk2 1.8 petrol engine of my mate as the diesel head is blown and has been using a mix of coolant, water and oil to lubricate the thing.



currently getting the engine out and getting ready for engine respray!

finally got round to getting the engine out (ft minor spill)

1.9t in the MK1 would be sweet!

Can you be more specific ???

Why not run a later model 1.9T diesel motor in that... She will be sweet running with that... Then just upgrade the internals and turbo and you'll have a crazy Mk1...

DieselMk1, some of his mates and myself are turning three diesel engines into one, in a hope to rebirth the old 1.5 hahaha
