Been spending time on Anton's Mk1 clone, now with a built 2E lurking in the engine bay.

pretty well rewired the whole car back to VW spec ( colour code, wiring size, connectors etc ) building reliability into the car..

Yip Thats right! Once we started we couldnt really let some of the stuff go! Will be posting a thread soon about the build. Will be good to see the Rocco project in full swing!

took a bit of effort to remove the guards without damage..

But all came away intact.
Main reason to remove and replace guards is to ensure this weak point of Mk1 construction is protected against rust.

Requires a good coat of paint at the A pillar junction to ensure integrity.( top and bottom )
Inner guards and inside the guards themselves will be getting a coat of 2 pac before reassembly.

And salvaged some tinwork from older cars to replace the parts removed for the 1.8T that use to live in here...
