    Just gave it a good wash, I'm pretty sure I pulled out about 10kg of dirt out front under the guards!!




    Few things are on the list to fix.
    • Polish
    • Straighten bumpers
    • Fix brakes, they don't feel 100%
    • Change suspension, feels really soft/shocks feel stuffed.
    • Fix Ignition switch
    • Fix 1/4 vents
    The most urgent thing is to fix the 1/4 vents, they are taped up atm. Anyone got a good set or a set of sealed ones?

    jeez GLS are rare to find.

    but your mk1 is looking good. Polish her up and she will be tip top

    Great find dude! I knwo you'll take good care of it.




    You don't need to get another set of 1/4 vents.

    Clean the surfaces right up really really well (REALLY WELL!).

    -Scrape all the crap off with a razor blade or similar.

    -Get some acetone and clean the surfaces right up spotless.

    -Then get some sycaflex (i can't remember which is the best but your local Auto1 etc should be able to help you there..) and you'll just need a dob right in the middle and sqeeze the two together.

    -Put a little G clamp on it over night


    ..... And she'll be sweet as.

    Not quite following you Preeny, is that to reattach the window the hinges or to seal the 1/4 shut?

    Strange problem with the headlights, thinks it's due to the dodgy ignition switch. The headlights come on when you turn the ignition of but after some fiddling with the ignition on and off they stop. I look out the front last night and my lights are on and now my battery is flat!!

    The ignition switch is faulty and has been bypassed with a push button start, certain that is the cause of my problems I have one sitting in the garage I will throw in tonight.

    Anyone had a similar issue?

    Ahh sorry dude. To reattach the hinges to the glass. Fix 'er up back to original.
