Need to redo them, In white or Red

not much has happened,
mainly just tidying things up, lining up doors so they open close freely ect.
Tried to freshen up paint with a polish, but its pretty gone. Looks 100% better then before though.
Going to get a spray can or 2 made up in mars red so i can touch up some spots, as i dont plan on respraying it anytime soon.

Did get a tyre mounted to the rear rim, 185/65/R13, having hard time finding a second one

Hoping to get engine in soon, need to source a few bits, clean the box up a bit. (4 speed till i can get a 5)
plans are to having it running in January,

Everybody secretly loves a slightly ratty MK1

You've done well with a polisher (I hope) to bring it back to that.

**GRN_VAGN** · 21-10-2011, 09:15 PM

cut polish for older paints without clearcoat.
Was done by hand, could probably be better with a electric polisher, but i doubt its worth the effort to be honest.

Looks better slightly ratty and tatty, gotta buy some clips for the waist trim, get them painted black and put back on

Engine nearly there,
ever gasket replaced even the head gasket.
Not going for a show and shine award, aslong as i can see where/if a leak comes from i can track it.

Waiting For my bro to come up from down south and drop off the engines and gearbox i scored, just some 1.6l's, but has what i need to finish this engine and get it in and running

Random pic from my laundry, Was feeding the cats and couldnt resist a snap

started adding small bits on,

Got the exhaust mounted up, just waiting on the new rubbers to arrive.
Need to get a broken stud out of manifold and put new one in. Anyone know where to get the gasket that goes between the top and bottom section of the manifold?

Got some fuel lines going, always hated how untidy it looks with the pump at front and carb are back. and i dont want to go electric, so i used some metal lines and made something neater, not the best and wont win any awards, but function over form here. Looks close to timing belt, but its not, and its solid, its not moving anywhere

got the coolant lines done, Filled up with water to test for leaks, no drips yet, will have to wait till its under pressure.

just waiting on a suitable filter to mount on the side there, and then bend lines to suit

thinking a shiny metal one haha
