What did you do to your MK1 today?

I bought a complete roof off a guy called Simon you know who you are fitted it today what a difference from the old vynl one

Its really thick too. He kept saying it was double duck if that makes sense.
theres a small gap in the rubber seals I'm hoping that settles down one the roof has been on a while

Still needs a good clean any suggestions

drove my s1 for the last time till i fully restore her gonna missing driving her . gave a good clean and is now tucked in the garage till i get all panels/parts i need....

MOT

fitted new adjustable dampening coils to der tuhd

Fitted a new fuse box, still waiting for the new distributor so still not started her up. 

Finally got round to a few jobs I've been meaning to do for a while. Yesterday I fitted a new inner CV boot. Today I refurbished the gear linkage with new bushes and arms. Kit was only £9 on eBay, I found that some of the bushes were actually missing. Can't believe the difference it gas made. I also adjusted the roof clamps to see if I can stop the noise at higher speeds.

repaired horn wire on my wolfsburg steering wheel and fitted new slip ring and now it all works as it should.

ding dong!

or should that be beep beep?

Looked at it parked up in the garage and started to make a list of things I'd like to get done on it over the Winter as its now off the road.

Put it away in the garage for it's winter holiday and sent the tax back

Finally got the car started. Have had it since May and was bought as a non runner! Never heard it before so pleased it runs. Had a pre MOT check done and found that it would fail on fuel leak from fuel pump area, rear brake pipes corroded and rear brakes binding (New Cylinders). So will hopefully be replaced and MoT'd on Friday.

Finally picked the car up today. Finally got a chance to drive it but unfortunately the fan belt snapped tonight. So going looking for a new one tomorrow.  

We did this with ours on saturday

Excellent!  

Nice one!

Removed the bonnet

Took the new engine apart, clean up and paint on Sunday.

Me too.
New brakes front and rear, maybe mk2 servo upgrade, underseal the underneath and replace lift pump. Now gotta find cash for the bits. Tax runs out end of November so just hoping for a few more nice days before he gets jacked up onto axle stands…

Oh, and ordered one of these…

Locked it away for the winter until my bodyshop can fit it back in again for some bits finishing.
