Picked this up in June of this year,

Havn't done much cosmetically apart from a bit of colour coding, binned the de-badged and swapped an early spec grille and 1/4 mouldings, most of a green glass set (still need d/s window, top tint windscreen and rear screen) converted to single wiper, and rebuilt the seats using scirocco bases for some extra low feeling. Mechanically it has been treated to new heater core, fan resistor, thermostat, rocker cover gasket, distributor cap and arm, new red ignition leads, genuine weber carb rebuild kit (gaskets, needle valve and bits like that) new brake fluid and a full service.
The wiring however has taken up most of my tinkering time, where to start........ whoever did the wiring should be shot.

QUOTE (joey @ Dec 26 2012, 01:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thought this had a 1.4 mk3 engine in it? because it looks very similar to one that was up for sale a while ago, either way it a nice car, what are the seats out of?

You're spot on there joey my mistake with the title! The seats were in it when i bought it and i just rebuilt them with scirocco bases as they sit alot lower.

Howya Ronan,

Hows the car been for you anyway? I miss it all the time, not the same driving a new school car!
