Just flicked through your whole thread, like your MK1, is it Gareths old car? Recognise the reg.

Cheers mate
I got her off a guy called George who lives near st Neots. Was told a previous owner used to enter concours with her, maybe that was the guy you knew of

Cut the lower section off the rear panel earlier today whilst i was up the unit helping my mate weld his own mk1. I drove it home after which was fun
I then stripped all the other bits off the rear, ready for more cutting as i have a genuine full rear panel to go on.
Also, I picked up an ABF engine a while back which i going to strip down, paint and rebuild.

Going to wire wheel the joins so i can neatly pick the rest off. Nothing should be distorted then so things should work out nicely when i fit the new panel.

seem to be cracking on well will the abf be running the r1 carbs ?
Yeah, going to swap the R1 carbs over unless i come by another set. Going to make the ABF a little more track friendly so i going to weld up a baffled sump, fit windage tray, mocal oil cooler, L+B flywheel. I'll rebuild the head like i did the last 1 thats on the 9A engine.

Needs a little more work plus where it meets the sill needs sorting before i can tack it in place. Happy for now though

Looks messy as you have to do spot welds to spread the heat and avoid distorting the panel. Ran out of gas so could'nt finish

Started having a play with a metal sump pan today. its going to replace the alloy one on the abf engine i have.
First up was to reinforce the bottom to give it a little more protection from the beating it gets on our roads. I made some templates to cover the areas you normally see scrapes on
Once tacked, i seam welded then ground down.
I only used sheet steel as i did'nt want to add too much to the depth of the engine. Can always replace these bits if they get fooked up.
Will probs get it powder coated soon.
Also started looking at baffling it. I cut some steel out using some rough templates from a mate.
Going to post up a pic on clubgti to see if they think it'll be good before i tack them in. Got a couple to do so i'll make my own templates to make it quicker next time round.

When me and my mate rolling roaded our mk1's with carbs, we had the exhaust glowing lol.
If its that hot, does'nt it mean your running lean?
