82 gl 5 door

Thought I'd share my latest purchase..

Its a 1982 1.5 gl 5 door, 1 owner from new, 70k, full vw service history up to 60k.

Since I bought the car I have done a couple of subtle mods, nothing too drastic..

Its really really tidy for its age, it just needs a bit of bodywork tidying up here and there.

I have put new plugs, leads, cap, arm, flushed the tank,new filter, stripped and cleaned the carb,checked the points, and its still not running right :roll:
I'm toying with the idea of a weber conversion..

Here are some pics

Looking good, proper time-warp stuff, any joy today with the carb?

Not much joy today, I have a few more things to check.. fuel cut off solenoid,replace vacuum rubbers and check timing..

It starts from cold fine, when it gets warm it cuts out

hi, looks nice, the colour looks very similar to my old cabby (a long time ago), any chance i can be cheeky and get the colour code and name for that please, the missus fancies it for her mk1 gx

thanks

Yay ! I used to have one of these  ( albeit not quite as tidy !! ) Good work.  A+, top of the class etc.

looks well, must admit i like the little red number there as well.

Cheers for that!.. I'll put a couple of recent pics of the mk2  in the "other cars" section :wink:

Love the car. The colour is rather fetching isn't it  8) Nice short reg number too.
My Mk2 Rocco has a Weber carb…goes well. Lot simpler, easier to diagnose niggles and adjust than the original - that's the main thing.  :wink:

love it, that interior is awsome

I fitted a new Weber 36 tlp today, I'm really impressed with the difference , the car purrrs now!

Still got a list of jobs to do…

I'll have a look for the paint code tomorrow.
