I will post pic later today.of this 1.6L N/A 5speed yellow monster.
The top end is suppose to be rebuilt and the block was ok. Runs good and I just drove it home yesterday so I have to see my baseline MPG.
Things to do:
- Replace the 4 worn shocks
- Replace front signal lights (not working)
- Install E-brake cable
- Remove passenger mirror
- put Aerodynamic front bumper, maybe a Euro Plastic one
- Move outside antena to inside
- have my Diesel Mechanic cousin give it a good look
- Look into lighter rim/tire package...I think it has 14 or 15in steelies
Things I hope to eventually do are the Giles Fuel Pump.
I also had a 3300lb car with manual brakes and it was doable, so converting this to manual brakes would make engine bay alot cleaner. Not sure if there is a manual brake conversion kit for these MK1's?
side note: the engine doesnt have the AC unit at all and no moonroof..yeah..The car drives plenty fast and honestly way faster than I anticipated. fun as heck!
Here we go
