My MK1 ABA 2.0 with R1 Carbs ,from the Netherlands

Yesterday finally got some working fuel en water temperature gauge.
There was a Swallotail part for needed     
Got is for a small price from a friend that always nice instead of these gold diggers    
 


For a change my old rims back on it ,love the Porsches but i got two bad adapters at the backside.
And it won't feel safe any more  

Bought my self a present OEM+  

Nice buys!  

Found a a real nice oldschool radio OEM+





Last week they did for the very first time a evaluative on the MK1.
So i can take the right insurance bit late but it's done now waiting for the guys to give me the right evaluative price  

Two days before the evaluation my water pump stopped doing his job  
You can see the water on the floor on the right side of the car……..



Of course we made some more pictures to ,last time i tried some night shots.
It much harder than you think  

Nice stereo and nice photos too  

Matt

Thanks Matt ,it's Holiday time now no MK1 to be found here in France…….





But enough time to polish…….    

So with a bit of luck i get this new right vent wing glass even the package is 100% OEM  

Wednesday i brought my MK1 to the vehicle inspection to get the engine on my original car papers.
And they love it everything was good so i get new papers MK1 2.0  





Together with buddy of mine with his VR6.

Picked up my 4 new outer lips the Wednesday ,and yesterday it was time to see what color we need ,take some measurements for the inner barrels.
They will be made 7 and 8 Inch at the back…. got some drive shaft issues when i go to low ,need notch on the right side i guess….

Bought my self already a pair track rod flips.
Next on on the list would be ball joint extenders

Hi Style,

Beautiful car my friend ;o)

What lips and barrels are you using on your Lorinsers and have you had the baskets drilled or are you using adaptors?

Cheers
Ade

Hi Ade ,sorry for the late response my friend.
I got 0.5 lips all around and 6Inch barrels front side and 7.5 barrels backside.
They been re drilled to 4x100 with a bit of luck i will get the centers back from the painter this Monday.

After a long winter sleep i started to get ready for 2016.
I found a ……. don't know the right English word for it jalousie for the rear window.
Fitted my track rod flips ,today i finally menage to get the radio working so on all not a bad start  









Little cheating  

So it been a while am sorry ! Busy with selling our house what's done now find a new one with garage.
So the MK1 can stay close to me  

Never the less the MK1 is almost done bit late this year.
there where some problems with my new rims but they all been solved. Last week we get a new MOT for 2 years so that's good. Not a lot of updates beside the wheels.
Bought my self some Velocity Stack for the carbs and adjustable camber plates.
Next week i tried to notch my right side of the car to get the right hight for the wheels.
Here are some pictures taken last week……

I'd be interested in knowing how you get on with these. I've been thinking of getting some of these for mine.

These where easy to install, drilled the wheel bearing housing with a 13mm drill. And i cut of 10mm from the tie rod on both sides.
It's now nice leveled as it supposed to be.
