Stripped Mk1 Project

Well it runs! It stops and it turns.

Need to adjust the gear linkage as it isnt getting all the gears and the throttle cable is mullered so has jammed a couple of times. Just niggles that need sorted really but is making it very hard to drive anywhere!

Here are some frankly crap pics are being uploaded. We're both too tired and shagged out to care about photos now!

New throttle cable fitted, clutch cable sorted and gear linkage sorted.

On first test runs, its quick!

But a bad earth meant that the battery has died **sigh**

More to fix :)

Yeah Im a bit worried tbh. Stripped 172 coming soon if I get beaten!

Saying the battery died is an understatement, bloody thing popped its cap off and flung acid all over the bay! Not nice

Well the road isnt looking too healthy! Gonna head up in 5 and sort it out, new battery is a cert but we have spares! Dave wiped teh acid off last night in the dark but will hopefully be ok.

Green Chic, Dave has wanted the rt bonnet but then we put this on firstly for ease but now he loves it!

The 16v dont have wider track. Only the willy so just use the 16v parts.

The 1.4 shafts prob will fit and be ok. But if you have the 16v bits they are tried and tested.

:D

One side is 16v and the other is rt. Only reason is we need to put a new cv joint on the valver shaft. Can defo pick and choose though

We took the 1.4 out on Friday night, worked like *****s and it ran on Sunday morning. Would have been sooneer if we had a ph1 ecu to start with.

Not driving it yet as the throttle cable ( that we fitted oops!) has snapped and the alternator is overcharging the battery :(

I dont think there are many Ph3 valvers. only bit of mines that is a Ph3 is the front bumper. The rest has been changed

ph1 mirrors
Ph2 rear bumper and tailgate
ph2 bonnet and headlights
Ph3 side strips
ph3 front bumper

Ha ha

Just a quick question. did it start off as a phase 3?? if so were the ph2 lights and bonnet easy to fit and do they sit right on the ph3 bumper?

Yes its still a ph3, the bumper and lights need modding and the fits isnt 100%, but its quite unique. :)
