Some would like some would not but it's my car
Bought some extra 16Inch Porsche Boxsters rims 6J and 7J perfect sizes to go low
And we working on a new cooling system bought a smaller but thicker alloy radiator.
First i created a home made nipple M22x1.5 got to welded on the radiator for the thermal switch.
And than we can fit it in and change some water hoses.

Thanks Dub-Doctor
I'm still working on my interior it must be brown all the way.
It's a 1977 interior
New parts needed to be fitted this winter still looking for brown window lifters and a brown handbreak cover.
I got other door card already cause i don't like the audio in it and the cheap ass electric windows.
The short arm rest in brown are here to.
Some where march it will be better but here we go as it was this last season.

So we are a bit further with the cooling ,the expansion tank from the MK3 is a bit big……
But the carbs are free from the radiator that was the main goal
Time to spray the radiator black no bling bling in my engine bay.
I also look further for a smaller expansion tank and found this one from the VW UP.
Bought a new ABA coolant thermostat housing to make it complete.
New Spal fan and where good to go ,shame my wife is sick now ,so we try it to install it next week.

So after a hard day of labour where still a bit closer to ready to go
Give my VW Up cool reservoir a new spot for good ,fitted the fresh painted cooler and fan.
Bought some time ago different door cards cause mine where full of not OEM stuff and boxes ,long arm rest cheap ass electric windows.
So now we have the dark brown wit short brown arm rest only need the windows lifter brown…..
Old set-up
New set-up
Difference between each other

Like the new door cards. Saying that, the old ones were pretty decent!

Yesterday we finished the cooling system ,so after three months her first start
Take some time to change my not working window lifter mechanism.
It's done now ,still looking for the same colour door cards for the back.
Brown window lifters are also hardddddd to find so in the mean time i use the one from the MK2
Don't know how it works with all the tags but this is a short run.
