Mk1 tin top 1.8t conversion
Hi all, thought id post a little log on my mk1 20vt build, found the car looking pretty sorry for itself but seemed a pretty solid base, its a 1.3 with engine siezed, so decided to give her a new heart with abit of boost , hope you enjoy and will try keep you posted as much as possible.
how i picked her up
after a good wash, coilovers and banded steels i had.
picked up some BBS RM 012 will be getting refurbished with wider lips soon.
stripped out interior to give a good clean and check for rot and any other defects
my small collection of conversion parts so far
thanks for looking, will try keep updated as much as possible.

Fair point, brakes are important
The G60's look nice. Maybe painted black like the banded steels?

Thanks for positive feedback , few more pics of what I've been up to…..
Trial fitted the seats.
Also the car has been previously painted, very poorly lol so decided to wet sand to remove the orange peel effect on the paint, I had nothing to lose the car will be fully resprayed once it's all up and running.
How the paint looked before.
After being flatted.
And after being polished back up.
