unfortunately i had ordered the wrong rotor arm, i'm having a nightmare with this car as i have checked part numbers for year etc and the wrong parts still show up…
at least the air filter was a fit…
and i think the new plugs will be an improvement too…
decided to flush the engine and drop the old sludge out, it was as black as the ace of spades…
the fuel filter didn't fit as it came with barbed outlet / inlet instead of the bolted connection that i need…
i got the irrits with the motor and moved on to the interior for a while…
after…
then gave the gear shaft some love…
after…
and fitted some new rubbers…
after…

then i found this little joy…
so i'll be looking for a new wing too. i also had another part to return after the guys sent me a fuel filler cap which had threads instead of the two tabs i need…
i moved on from body work to give the brakes a touch up…
fortunately i received the correct size discs and braided lines…
unfortunately i received the incorrect size pads…
a little bit too chunky and would't fit even with the callipers wound all the way back…
i installed new fluid and was going to replace the bleed nipples, the store decided to send a mismatched pair for some reason only known to them..
finally i thought i'd try the plate on for size, i'm actually wondering if the euro size might have been a better choice. all in all it's not going great so far…

Welcome to the club first of all!
The title of this post this morning at 05:11am was something like "golf mk1 cabrio, i'm keeping this one standard…"
Hours later an engine swop!
I look forward to seeing it not change in the future, just pulling your leg mate!
