What did you fix/replace on your Mk1 today?

[JP-009]

Replaced the clutch cable that had only about 5 strands of wire left in the cable.

No more clutchless gear changes for me

After hearing how much of a difference it made on EndlessMk1's car, I beefed up the lower stress bar with a diagonal brace back to the rear control arm mounting points, and a bar between the 2 control arm mounting brackets.

My welder was playing up so don't look at my welds, but I can definitely say it does tighten up the front end - it feels sharper into turns and feels more solid and stable. Hardly feels like a mk1 anymore!

that looks good, might try that out in the new year!

I replaced plastic bumpers with chrome ones on my rat today

pulled and sprayed the front bumper, cleaned up the terminals for horns and indicators and put it all back together. Also found a loose fuel-line connection whilst at the carwash, after a good blast of the engine bay(no wonder it wouldn't start !!)

[mikinoz]

Fiddled with Vacuum lines, changed some, blocked some off and the car is idling better, but has more lag...

FPR is getting replaced tomorrow at this stage, it does not hold pressure which I feel may be causing some surge and also hard starting. See if that being replaced makes a difference.

Got new engine in

Now to block off the holes in head, fit the weber and manifold, wire up, driveshafts, passenger seat to be put back in, more wiring... one day it will work

[Jarred]

...Now to block off the holes in head,...

congrats on getting the engine in.

now for the 20c mod. 4 x 5cent pieces! enjoy.

or just blocked up old injectors.

[GRN_VAGN]

I have some old injectors with caps on the end. worked well on old 1.8.

But new one been ported so injectors sit a bit in ports. so goign to grind them down, little bit of sealant and presto, should work
