Yo VW Watercoolers,
Noob from Perth with a Mk1 diesel project. Long way from being done, and partly here for WTB for what it'll like get as a conversion. Other than that I have a bunch of non VW cars, but we don't need to talk about them.
It goes, it isn't registered and nearly every rubber parts needs renewing due to sitting out in the weather for years. Will paint it YELLOW because why not. Got a bunch of mostly surface rust to sort but enough that needs paint.
I've ummed and ahhed about what I wanna do with it for a while but basically it needs registering and driving around on the classic 1.5L/4 speed diesel combo where acceleration is timed by a calendar, then some improvements to braking and handling... and then what I'd really like is to find a mk3 1.9 TDI and convert it to fully mechanical injection to have the ultimate in oldschool with a bit more performance. I could do a later motor conversion but I kinda like fully mechanical setups so I need to find a pre-PD motor (hence partly being drawn to here).
Already sorted the initial part of the project out though - found some 4x100 hotwires that I gotta strip back and do some polishing to make them awesome.
Cosmetic stuff and other to follow to get the initial rego sorted while I go through the slow process of finding the right door or donk for it.
