Also in need of a crank v-belt pulley, mk1 waterpump pulley and a clutch, flywheel and pressure plate. If anyone has one lying around. Preferably 210mm but anything that will work with the 1.8 and 4speed.

So noone has a clutch handy??:(
Update!
So i grew a pair and decided to pull a 210 clutch from a mk3 at a wreckers (shoutout to browneye for being a boss and assisting me on my journey!)
Everything seemed fine throwing it all together back at home and managed to get the motor back in in no time.
Spanner checked everything and wire it all up to start it.
After i prime the oil and get it all ready, i go to start it and fired up like a new car! :)
..one problem though.. noticed sparks flying out of the tdc port on the gearbox.. DAMN
so box off again, to see what the issue is. Turns out there is a tab in the casting in the bellhousing that was binding on the flywheel.. so out comes the grinder haha

The proper solution would be a 5 speed swap mate... I got some flanges if you want to take it down that road, but you would need a mount, which is the real trouble. Hope the clutch performs alright, can't see why it wouldn't.
Just roof and demister to go?
Roadworthy here you come
Im pretty decided on running the 4 speed for now. But yeah, demister, fuel pump and install the ragtop and im ready for rego :) im on the home stretch!
Looking good man!! You will get over that 4sp box reaaaal quick haha. Hope all goes well for rego. Going for full reg or club?
