I'm doing a mk1 5 door 1.1 but I've ripped the engine out now and got 1.4 16v to drop in, I'm gutted now looking at yours wish I kept mine all original

coxcade Did you already get rid of the 1.1 engine?
Otherwise you could get it back in ;)

Again some small jobs done on the car

Bought and fitted some new rubber seals for the rear lights as we got a little water in the inside of the car and installed a new pump too since our old one couldn't handle the weight of the tailgate..

Also installed the little vinyl pieces in the car after a good clean.

Top job. What sound deadening products did you use? Do you find the car is loud to drive? As in a lot of engine / exhaust nice inside the car?

mk1newbie Thank you!
We bought some sound deadening from our local parts shop with a layer of vilt for isolation.

Whole roof + the floor and fire wall are covered.

You can still hear the engine and exhaust but it's not that loud.

Hi mate you have the colour code for onyx green? I can't find anything that looks as good as yours

coxcade Color code is LD6V, it's a pretty rare color, not many cars were sprayed in this color.

Only thing that's left is finding an genuine spanner in mint condition.
