Mk1 3 door, Coupe S lump

Well bought the car last week in February, had problems since the minute I got it

Here's an overview of the specs

Was originally a 1.1 with a 4speed with 127,000 miles with a Webber carb
It's now a 1.3 Mk2 Polo Coupe S with a 5speed and 88,000 miles
GTI Front Brakes
Mk2 Golf Pirelli P-slots
GTI Rear Bench
Installed my sub/amp and H/u too, which are hidden by a false floor to keep a original/retro look
Just need to make some clean door pods to house my components

It has a few things which I want to do, to get it looking decent-ish… lol
Which are;
Orange indicator Lenses in front bumper
New plates without the stupid markings
New CL Splitter
New drivers Side rear cluster
Repair black side strip so it clips back on
GTI Front Seats
Source a P-slot Centre Cap
Add Gauges

That's my list for now, until I have more free time and money

Well here are some pictures from when I bought it, to where it's at now
How it looked before I picked it up 



And now I have it
It came on some wide steels (not banded still wide though)
P-slots on and a clean


Starting installing ICE too 

Start of Sub and Amp section





Fully Trimmed


And my progress on door pods; need to get some pockets so I can blend it in with some fibreglass






My work may look messy, but its best I can do, im not a very practical person at all, more into the technical and design side of things, and without forking out for a professional or asking people constantly this is the best I can do

Engine conversion

The car that brought the engine home, 895CC Mk1 polo

Engine out


Nearly in


In


Just a few bits need doing







And heres a list of what needs doing to get it running
Coolant Block from Coupe S needs to be taken off and swapped with the Mk1 one
Radiator put in
Choke sorted
Extend vac Pipes and connect
Extend Fuel Pipes and connect
Speedo Drive cable
Fit new throttle cable
Wire it in

Nice work mate.

What steelies were they? what they off?
I sorta like them.

Its not the steelies that are pictured they are banded Mk4 steels, that i couldnt afford

The steels i have are almost like van ones?
There 13" or 14" But are wide?
Think there almost as wide as my P-slots :/

And cheers, hopefully get it running when i can find someone who knows what there doing

I quite like those steels too. I'd be up to giving you a bit of cash for those with the tyres. Let me know where you are and we can sort something. I'm on 07968 856474.

Cheers

sweet buy i saw this on edition 38 looks good

Cheers dude, would be even sweeter if i didnt have as many problems or the fact he mentioned a few sneaky holes?

Ahh well

Heres some progress on tidying it up

Sit with a roof rack now, hoping to have it running tomorrow, while also hoping to have my spliter, rear light

If they come theyll be fitted along with a AA relay badge that arrived today

Nearly there now, God of Mk1's Mark G60 came today and got a fair ammount done

Things left to do now are…

Mk3 polo Throttle Cable
Mk2 polo Ignition Amplifier Module (may get away with a Mk1 GTI one)
Wheel bolt to block a unused hole up
Check fuel pipes are correct way around
Ignition Live at back of carb for heater element
Ignition Live at heater solonoid
Reverse Light
New HT lead (for coil to dizzy)
Speedo Drive, is being fiddly to get on

Well it now runs, new coil, timing done, new plugs, leads, cap!
All new anti-freeze and oil
painted a few bits pikey style for now

And gave it a clean, as i thought it was going to be going alltypes but wont be finished in time

So heres how it looks and whats left before it can be driven on the road. . .





Engine needs a new manifold gasket - as when it comes off choke its cutting out due to blowing…
Need to either make a custom throttle cable from a Mk1 golf one and Mk2 Polo one of get a Mk2 polo Bar and pedal
Need to get airbox and air filter in (new airfilter needed)
Sort out the selector, as where reverse should be is 1st and 2nd then where 1st and 2nd should be is 3rd and 4th etc etc leaving me with no reverse
and sort out my temp and oil senders, as there not working, temp one seems to go straight up off the guage without the engine even started and warmed up. and the oil just flashes, mechanic reckons there earthed somewhere, so once i have the money ill book it into a garage for those ohh and sort the master cylinder and new disks/pads etc!

So nearly there, just need to wait till my next income of money now :p
