just picked up this little Gem today, drove it home on hwy and it didnt miss a beat 279 kays on it.

1.6L 4 speed

Is a faded yellow, few chips, dent in tailgate.
Interior is nice, no marks on seats or rips, all cloth ones too.
Door cards mint besides speakers in front (neatly done though)
Dash cracked.

Plans are
Fix oil leaks
fix the wiring as indicators work when they want
need wheel alignment.
Exhaust rubber fell off and it rattles at idle

then in a few months i might lower it more on some wide 13's

Will get more pics tomorrow after ive tidy it up as its a bit shabby atm

Looks straight and tidy, nice find!

Cheers

Yeah its straight considering. tailgate has dent and has like 6mm of bog.. which has cracked off. but a tailgate is replaced easy.

basically i want it as Daily duties since i miss driving my green everyday.

They have to stop coming out of the woodwork in Tassie eventually.

That said at one stage when I lived in Hobart I had 6 Hillman Imps, which was at the time the national record in one place.

Hahha,

yeah they keep popping up, this one was advertised on a site ive never heard of!!!

Was tinkering tonight with it, one headlight not work, indicators sometimes do, horn doesnt, so im guessing im up for some rewiring

Going to swap some bits from the green one into this one as i may go a different direction with the green one.

dude that looks prime very very nice indeed!

oh and I cannot get mine until later this month. but its a four door, light blue and bumpers like yours i want a chin spoiler now!!! hahaha and fogged indicators!! and FAT wheels... coilovers!!! oh my i will need restraining!

Once i've got the my mk1 and its on the road, we may have to organise a get together?

[GRN_VAGN]

I would if i was staying in tassy

And its far from prime, pic makes it look mint haha. paint is bad as, but its a no thrills daily.

[Jarred]

nice pick up mate, looks pretty tidy indeed!

although, you do have the disease! ahah

[GRN_VAGN]

its my 3rd Mk1 in 9 months i think

green one which i still got
Blue one which body was rooted, but had heaps of good parts
now the yellow one

When will it end? lmao

[Henri]

Nice pickup. I actually remember seeing this one for sale a few months back when I was first on the lookout for one. I called up and the owner had just sold it. Maybe the new owner might not have realised that Mk1s are playful, and don't always work the way you would like.

[GRN_VAGN]

Ahhh busy day so far!!

Done a heap of wiring fixing, got some things working, and others not.. but going to buy new wire to redo some earth points as i know they play a big part.

Put parcelshelf and holders in, speakers in, sterio in, degreased engine and box and the whole bay.
Neatened up bay a bit, put my badgeless grill on.
Put sealant on tappet cover to fix leak, will do till i get a new gasket.

Things to do so far,

Radiator leaks... pretty bad actually.
exhaust rattles
timing cover clangs one engine when idle.

Going to swap my 15's onto it
GTi flares
Unsure about the 2 piece duckbill yet

Wash it

Pics to come, tis hot and i need a break haha
