Paint wise you should be the first on here to plastidip your entire car.

If it was cheaper, I'd have done it already mate!
I've already sorted a few bits and bobs
Aye, it's a dick around car. But because the shell is so solid, I may keep it for a long time and it could turn into an all out resto project. A new engine won't be that much, and if I want to keep it a daily it needs one! The problem with cars like this is, it's way too easy to spend money. I'm fixing the little bits here and there so far, the paint and engine will be the most expensive bits!
Did a few jobs on the car today. First thing was checking out the rear light. Before, I had to switch the lights on, then walk around the back and give the rear light a quick whack to get it working. Turns out, it was a mouldy bulb. So I changed it. YAY!
Next thing, I stripped out the rear...
Rear bench was just pulled out, as was the spare tire. I estimate it can now do about 220mph because of this.
Also did a cheeky video of the car.
FUCKYEAH.

Those trainers must add atleast 15bhp aswell.
Do love this car though, wheels suit it really well, not too sure on the roof rack.

The main focus would be on actually getting the engine in and running, bike carbs would be a later expense. NOOIISEEEE
Cheers! Not many like it.
then a polo gt engine isnt the right choice as its an injection engine, different loom, ecu etc etc, im running it on carbs as its a PITA to do the injection convesion. but i dont expect it to be reliable... its proving that so far by its unwillingness to start lol

Look after your Mk1 and it will look after you. :approve:
Wiring may be a ball ache, but it's a necessary evil if you want a more modern/reliable engine. And who doesn't want that, in all honesty? Even the geeks sat drinking bovril in a field admiring proper classics will wish they had a modern engine at times.
Can't be that bad anyway, after all, it's an early injection engine. Hardly like trying to wire in the f**king supercomputers in the latest cars.

LOL!
I keep throwing this car into roundabouts and bends and I never feel like I'm "On the edge". Even when it starts skipping out and cocking it's wheel, it's just so simple and (IMO) easy to control. There's just stupid amounts of grip too. Love it! I think everyone should own a MK1 tbh.
