My 1978 Mk1 GLD...

[revnit]

Just a small update or me just bragging alittle hahaha, Some may already know i took my GLD out to vw warwick last weekend (there is a post in events section) and won the watercooled class Had to work for the win wasn't easy with limited practice runs keeping it consistent wasn't as easy as it sounds.

Added crystal clear headlights and crystal cabby rear lights which i haven't got a pic of just yet. here is a picture for recent Vw Action day car show.




And the trophy

Lovin the Dakota Beige, she polishes up real nice. Wish i still had a mk 1 in that colour

Had a play with the GLD yesterday decided to put a oil cooler on the beast, some mk1 enthusiasts may notice the grill has been cut out for air flow was a 3hour job to do it right

Also had a play with some aluminum end caps for the cooler, i thought the cooler looked to plain and cheap (which it is). Bent up some aluminum and polished them up they are 100% removable just there for cosmetic purposes

where did you get that kit from?

[revnit]

Ive brought 2 of these kits over the last year for my mk1s, both off of ebay always best to do a little searching first sometimes its cheaper from USA even with a high postage cost.

16 ROW UNIVERSAL OIL COOLER KIT R32 S13 14 CIVIC 300ZX (eBay item 250699132908 end time 18-Nov-10 15:42:24 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

[hitoriko]

what sizing do you need or are they universal (for the exchange where the oilfilter goes)

[revnit]

That kit in the link i posted comes with the correct fittings for a direct bolt on , the only extra i brought was a thread sealant being a cheap kit i was worried about it leaking. I haven't had a leak yet the old diesel puts out some vibrations so its a good test.

[hitoriko]

thanks mate - theres an upgrade there for me

i really need to get good wheels and coils first

[revnit]

Finally the rain has stopped up here in QLD, took the GLD for a run and took a few shots I love this old girl be sad to see her go unfortunately her days are numbered

[GeorgeMK1]

Ahhhh, its soo clean.

Everytime i see this car, i love seeing the oil cooler!

[Garbon]

Hey mate

What do you mean her days are numbered? I would never sell her if thats what you mean
