My sort-of restoration

[GeorgeMK1]

So its been a while that i updates, and its just because i've been damn lazy.

But anyway, insurance paid me out for that guy that hit me from behind, and im going to sand it down and fix the damage myself, so i can have a bit more to spend. I bought a 90amp alt, and i mounted it all. However the pulley wont align, and blah blah blah, i need to modify.
I stayed at school today to try and have a go to weld my old mk1 puley to the new one, as i need the V belt. Didnt work.. ill spend a bit more time on it tmoro and tnite.

Anyway, so im walking around the auto room at school. And i notice what seams to be a 32/36.Can anyone please assure me that it is one. If so im a very happy boy

Ps i mounted the mk3 alt differently to waht its ment to be, but it works for me better this way.

sure looks like it Bruh,

Last picture, see between the two mounting studs the flat face side? it has what looks like two rectangles. it should have the model number there.

But sure does look like a 32/36... grab it anyway XD

Nice work, George.

INA does an ABF alt. kit that has all the pulleys and a serpentine conversion ready to rock if you are interested. Comes with a 1.8t harmonic balancer too.

If you're keen, let me know the P/N of the alt. you have. I might be able to sort you out a kit minus the alternator if they are the same (they do look it from your pic).

part numbers on the carb should indicate it's specification mate. should have DG..V 32/36 or something similar.

Hahaha preeny that sounds great. I have a few ideas that im going to try out first and if that fails, ill let you know, cheers for that mate

Yep i checked it, its a 32/36 DGAV weeeeeee i love my teacher haha.
I've already cleaned it all, and everything seems to be good, linkages etc in good condition. Going to try give it a run on satday, and probs buy a rebuild kit for it soon. However it has a water choke, going to see if i can change my current one onto the 32/36

[Jarred]

yep, flog off that water choke, a manual or electric should be much easier.

They should interchange without too much hassle.

Hey guys, im chasing new tyres with low profile. I found out that there is 185/50/14
Would that be too small? Has anyone ran that in a 8" rim before on a mk1, as i think it will be VERY low to the ground ..

Anyone at all have some info.. or even on where to get them from? Very scarce tyres they are
