Thought it sold for £1200? he told the ebay buyer it had been stolen i think.... i had no clue about this until he told me when i went to get it Ahh yeah she's a mk1 mate if I were you I'd get a mk1 front bumper and rear lights ..if you look at my thread you will see the difference with them bro my thread is under my mk1 gt turbo .. Mk1 bumper is much nicer along with rear lights but still your off too a good start man fair play hope you have nothin but joy with it ha i kinda love the front end, just need bumper respraying and splitter re-attatching after it got abit ripped off trying to get on the aa tow thing. saw your thread mate i prefer these rear lights, not keen on the indicators on them rear light. agreed tho mk1 front looks sweet. thanks mate so far after the hour driving i loved it, its awesome. also i guess they dont have power steering? unless thats another thing thats broke lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lukee Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 so no point wasting time.. this is what happened today:heres the hole in the exhaust side of the blockand heres the hole on the inlet side... safe to say i done a good job lolpassenger side didnt wanna come out in the car lol and... the engine is out and ready for the new engine on the left also had bottom end troublesvery very good job lolalso took the wipers and scuttle off to loosen the wipers as they barely moved across the screen:also found my hks turbo timer which the previous owner couldnt find because it fell down the back of the head unit... and also discovered i have rare import coiloves, gtc or gic i cant remember but my friends got them on his car and my brother said the last pair he saw was on the american ebay for £/$2k! and the wheels are genuine WORK's ... 7j wide which is a result! however again the previous owner mucked up.. the tyres/wheels were on the wrong side.. and all the vacuum lines connected had a bolt stuck in the end of each and were not even connected. few more niggly bits to sort but she will be sorted and put to former glory...and now its just a waiting game for parts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
