here goes (KPV753V)
its taken ages n heaps of head scratching , but here goes, given up on the series1 GTI theory cos it turns out to be a 1.3 LS, is ok cos it gives me scope to build what i want, engines lying about are 1600 EG code, 1600 EZ code and an 1800 PB, am not sure what colour to go wi yet , theres helios blue, alpine white and ford radiant red
ready for bodyshop

finally decided on engine , am using the 1800 PB on carbs with a 4 branch exhaust manifold, but not finally decided on the colour , alpine white or radiant red, suggestions welcome, theres only 3 litres of helios blue so that wont work. There will be a garage clearout comin soon so as i can get the painted shell indoors

Carbs arrived today , twin 42 Webers, engine inside gettin a clean and check over , so far so good as theres no oil leaks or any other nasties, only gettin the bolt out of the bottom pulley was a lot of work n lost/sacrificed the plastic timing cover and V belt pulley in the process. Everything below the head gasket gettin flashed up wi a quick blast, etch coat n sprayed black , head having a good service, but leavin it stock. Should/could be ready for the painted shell comin back

worst is the alpine white is already bought, so kinda narrows the choices on whites lol

my others are both alpine white, so its tempting, although the roads here are a little rough for slamming

Johns been wrestling wi the rear end n got most of the atrocious state of it flattened out , the lower rear valence was beyond ecconomical straightening which is damn shame cos it was fresh, anyhow forwards progress is progress even if its not fast
