Mortz Mk1 Cab Restoration
Well here we go…..
Bought for 400 notes…..Cannot be arsed to do another 2.5 year restoration….nearly got divorced the last time I did that….ummmm could be a good excuse though!
here are some pix to start us off
looks ok when i took a 1st look at it
Looking to modify this bit
Kit removed to see what's under the arches
Plenty of trim loose in this pic
So whats the shopping list?
Full respray in Helios blue
Repair all body work
Clear lense indicators front only
source any bits that are missing…not much to get now
New mohair hood in navy blue
new headlining
Full grey nappa leather interior
Would like to have a set of 15" deep dish alloys…golf has already been lowered by 40 mil
Search for the brackets that hold the power hood rams
MOT and hopefully enjoy the summer….which year though?

Making a start on car Hi-FI….got hold of a custom made sub enclosure which fits under the parcel shelf with mill to spare…depth is perfect too…so I still have space in the boot
Got hold of 2 subs to fit this enclosure from the same source which apparently are perfectly balanced……
How did I get hold of them?
A customer of mine supplies high end audio to factory built prestige cars and was happy to supply me with these items…..here is the bonus……..cost me nothing!!!!….must have stepped in doo doo that day !
The Subs work on RMS and are very low in frequency……apparantley as low as your gonna get…im no expert in car audio i will add
