My MK1 ABA 2.0 with R1 Carbs ,from the Netherlands

So i found the missing door cards from the backside…yeah!!
Fitted the new handbrake handle with brown cover  
Last week first ride for the season ,cooling system holding down let's hope for a good and sunny up coming weekend to drive and test some more.

Good find!  

Looking stunning as always  

Thanks Andy ,Yesterday the firs ride with my Porsches rims weather was bad so it was a short one.
We definitely could use some more sunshine over here….

So after a trip to Belgium lost of work to be done.
Some cool water leaks and the pressure in my engine is to high.
So yesterday we started to change the pressure problem.
It's not finished and not as beautyfull but needed.



And some shots from the trip in Belgium lovely Ghost town in the place called Doel.
There only living a few people most of the houses and shops are closed.
Lots of Graffiti and lovely places to park your MK1.

Wow!!! Great photos/location/car (as always) Pete!    

What was the pressure problem with the engine?

To be honest Andy it was my own fault.
The Oil catch tank that i used had 2 in connection 10mm.
So what i did i made the ventilation for the cylinder head 10mm and the same from the bottom engine.
Dumb dumb dumb this is way to small don't what i was thinking when i did it.
So now i created a 16mm bottom engine connection to the cylinder head and from there out one 16mm to the new catch tank.
That was made by a good friend of mine with just one big connection and all so a good diameter for the filter to breath.

Look the difference….

Shame less…….        



Here you see the old catch tank



And this is how i made it ,the catch tank is now painted black just as the pipe to it.



Terrible phone shots but you see the difference..

Now i only have to fix my seatbelts driver side   and some small water leaking ,started with a new water hose on the right side of the cylinder head.
It's black now instead as the first picture blue.

So Saturday we almost finished the engine bay.
Just waiting for a right filter for the oil catch tank.
Give the front breaks a new paint after i have shaved them with the flex to fit in the BS RM's.
