mk1 16v conversion,mot'd and running in
anyway couple of pics after id picked it up and gave it a wash
dodgy stuck on aerial
now removed
took it round to my garage and swapped the wheels and suspension over from my jetta inc. the bonrath top mounts. Discovered the suspension we were removing was spax -40s so bit of a bonus,got replaced by chassis dynamics -50s and boge turbo gas shocks
but its still sitting very high so im on the lookout for second hand coilovers for it :mrgreen:

as for non-lhasa 1.1s all i can say is its down as a 1.1 in the logbook,the car has no gls trim and afaik arent gls's 1.5s?all the ones ive had have been
as a total bonus my sister being essentially a female has decided to change her mind again(mk6 polo,mk2 golf,mk1 golf mk9?polo),now shes set on her original choice of a 1.3 mk6 three door polo shes going to harlequin????(only available in 5drs) which means ive got myself a minted 3dr non s/r shell to play with because theres no chance ill run it as a 1.3 for long pmsl :mrgreen:

cheers fleming,i like it too but i prefer it when its running,its currently getting a heart and lungs transplant which is proving problematic,going for the worlds longest 16v transplant lol.
took the opportunity of the engine being out to give it a good paint,started off(like most things)as just a little clean
used a hammer and screwdriver all over the block to de-scale it
20 years of grime
