What did you do to your MK1 today?

I pulled the bottom pulley of the afh to remove the plastics, timing belt etc. As there was a fairly.bad pressure oil leak from the oil.pump.  Expecting. To have to replace the gasket but in fact it was just a loose bolt!  Then, refitted all that stuff and fitted the electric fuel pump. Refitted the bonnet. Fitted the new clocks. With tachometer. And found that the hazard switch had exploded! Now have to shorten the fuel pipes. Wire the pump up. Fit a new hazard switch and go get an exhaust!

Bought a 2L 16v

Fitted the new alloy top strut brace.

Busy day then!

Thanks for becoming a paid member    

Spent hours yesterday rubbing down the radiator cowling, still lots to do before painting. Couldn't get started today due to it raining again!

Ordered new fuel lines and sent head off to be ported polished etc.

got round to getting coil overs fitted ( spas rsx )
went to get tyres put on my new bbs but couldn't find correct size valves ANYWHERE…. guess i will just have to wait for some new ones

Got an exhaust from custom chrome. So the engine and box conversion is now done. Running in for 1000 miles.

gone and got me a carpet for next project 79 s1 to be started in near future

Fitted some nice new HEL fuel injector lines, problem that I've got now is that the rest of the bay looks tired and dirty!

Always the down side of fitting new parts!

Haha! Think I'll have to tidy up the rest now. Or never open the bonnet in public. 

got my insurance down to sub £90..  

Booked car in for a cat-back Longlife stainless exhaust. Gone for mid-sport sound 

Took the intake manifold off and the header tank to create a bit of space to fit new fuel lines. 

Started freshening up some other bits too…

Also picked up the refurbished fuel tank yesterday so got plenty to be getting on with!

Decided to have a bash at refurbishing a couple of my badges, this is very much first attempt though…

What did you use on your badges by the way look good

Thank you kindly : )

Used a pot of paint from Games workshop and a clear enamel to protect from the elements…. With the brush and equipment cost me less than £9 all in : )

& have tonnes left for the future.
