YES!!! I bought a mk1

[bboyskidz]

i'm really jealous man. I'm still looking for a tidy mk1 and this one fits the bill. I saw it on ebay and I just didn't have the cash at that point . I love the colour but the seats? lol.

How much are you lookin at spending on this baby? It looks pretty tidy already, the flares are awesome but the wheels need to be tended to

Last Friday I went to Matts to get a few things done to the beast haha.

The breaks had a looking over where we found the culprit which was the slave cylinder leaking oil. It sits towards the back of the car on the left hand side, it started to seep out oil. Air was getting into the unit and the brakes weren't the best. Changed this around and WOW ARE THE BRAKES ALOT BETTER HAHA!!! This also got rid of a knocking sound that you could hear in the engine bay which was the air in the lines causing havoc.

Also got the clutch cable changed and once again OMG, the old clutch cable was sitting on the exhaust manifold and also as soon as it came out of the firewall went to a 90 degree angle agrhh Changed it and ran it through properly and its alot smoother now thats for sure.

Also got my gear linkage kit fitted so much easier when the car is on a hoist lol. All the old rubbers and bushes that lined it were stripped and nothing there.

Will hopefully get some pics in the next couple of days of the car going to be fitting some items that I have accumilated for quite some time lol.

[Jarred]

I have no new pics man lol, will get some over the next couple of days.

Wheels will be 13x7 et-5 but I need to get them polished the lips anyway.

I also need to shim down the calipers a little so that they will fit no problems.

[DubSteve]

A little more progress

So yesterday I dropped off the mk1 to Matts in the morning where I was greeted by Shannon and given keys to a Cordoba.

During this time I got new lowered springs, strut top mounts and a wheel alignment

Car sits about 30 mm lower than what it did and can I tell you what a difference the car makes in handling and driving, new strut top mounts don't make the car feel like they are going to fall apart lol. Now I think my handling is pretty top notch with Koni adjustables shocks, new springs and sway bars, Im quite chuffed right now!



I think I may cut 1 or 2 coils out though to make it look a little lower.

Then last night I decided to move cut a few wires and fix a few things, I'll let some pics do the talking :



I redid the lower dash it was coming undone so I stripped the glue and redid it with adhesive spray and hot glue in small amounts worked quite well.



Fixed the ashtray (not that anyone will be smoking in the car but I thought I may as well lol)



Stupid ****ing alarm this is the pager system from cobra lol.





That air con system will get removed soon waste of weight and space!



Managed to find my system harness so I basically tidied it up and taped it for when I get a cassette player installed.



New spakers that will fill the wholes th old ones where kenwoods whoever the new ones are sanui's (I had them lying around in the garage I don't care!)



I approve!
