What did you fix/replace on your Mk1 today?

took off from turning into Nepean Hwy for a blast, foot to the boards and literally the gas pedal stayed there...

cursing that the accel. cable had slipped at the Webber, it was only the (new) accel. cable that had popped out of the (new) rubber bush on the end of the gas pedal....easy fix and a great blast up to the Elsternwick video store(who still have us on their records after a 7 year absence!!)

Drivers side door lock now both locks, and unlocks, so I won't be locked out or leaving it unlocked as the options to choose from when I park it.

fixed the rear plate light, which I noticed the wires had come adrift, whilst putting in the kids seats for the first time.....1st outing today with the whole fam....

2 kids seats in back and roof down....even took my 76 y.o dad for a blast 'round the block too ('reckon he digs the Weber sound )

Got back door opened and put new handle on, replaced broken window winder and fitted an air horn and re-fitted a new ghetto catch can.

Attempted to unblock the windscreen washer jet with mixed success (there's at least one pin broken off inside and the driver's side jet is weak but better and usable). Put in about a litre of oil (in the engine, not the washer jet

)

Replaced the hatch seal. I have to slam the thing bloody hard for it to close now. Still leaks from somewhere...

I also wound down the FPV from 5.5 to 3.5 BAR. This has helped considerably in terms of delivery of power, before it all came on about 4,500 - now it is more even across the range. Wheelspin in second!

I need to clean the ISV soon, the fluctuation in idle is driving me nuts.

Nice! I'd imagine it would sound pretty good with the roof down..
