Mk1 16v Project

Hey preeny, that USRT kit looks the tits mate, are youm looking at something very similar are a bit different. Also you going steel or Al? would be interested in an Al setup for lightweight. Do you think you'll use the USRT delrin bushes to start it off or full custom. I'm still interested mate.

Yeah, like the USRT kit with a couple of minor differences. Aluminium rods.

As far as bushes, i'm retaining the original ones. But I was considering using brass..

AL = best news yet, was thinking about the dust boots they are using to keep junk out of the rose joints though. Let me know how much you reckon

Picked up a straight, uncracked dash from Paintz today.

Also picked up my new OEM single headlight full open grill from Mik.. Even did a little tuning on Mik's 16v. It idles now and everything! haha.

Dash will go to the trimmer next week to get a couple of spots sorted.. Or maybe a reskin.. We'll see what he says.. Will get some pics tomorrow or something.

Dash is now in the talented hands of Wayne from Street Trim. Waiting to hear back about what it'll cost for repair and re-skinning.


Also asked him about (GOOD!!!) Mk1 carpet kits.. So he's going to see what he can come up with.

Glad it's not me...

Spewing that the car isn't Lago Blue anymore, but I suppose it's not the fastest colour out there.

I dig the choice of the coil location. Less **** in the bay, the better.
