So it finally happened, after all these years of wanting and looking for a solid example… I got a MK1. I love it already!!!
I have been reading as a guest be now a member
I really wanted an early model with round lights, but I can convert this one I guess. I gotta say the square lights are Growing on me though, I wonder how some cabby fenders would look with the square lights??
Has the original 1.8 8v with a big ass lumpy cam, idles and runs fine, pulls good too. I like the old school Callaway valve cover. 5spd with a new clutch and trans seals. I do need to replace the drivers side axle, it knocks in full lock while going in Reverse.
Has a New Euro Sport race header/downpipe. Slotted front rotors, Euro Sport lower stress bar, Tokico struts, urethane front engine mount, trans mount & bushings, looks like maybe some H&R springs too.
Needs a steam clean underneath as the trans seals were leaking, taking out the clutch, But all was fixed.
Has that old school front air dam with fogs (in mint condition) which I think is a Kamei unit, like the rear hatch one.
A little mishap on the drivers rear quarter panel from some ice I was told.
Topped off with a clean title, a Great buy in my opinion for $1,000.
I have Big plans for this baby!!
