Nice pickup. I actually remember seeing this one for sale a few months back when I was first on the lookout for one. I called up and the owner had just sold it. Maybe the new owner might not have realised that Mk1s are playful, and don't always work the way you would like.

Ahhh busy day so far!!

Done a heap of wiring fixing, got some things working, and others not.. but going to buy new wire to redo some earth points as i know they play a big part.

Put parcelshelf and holders in, speakers in, sterio in, degreased engine and box and the whole bay.
Neatened up bay a bit, put my badgeless grill on.
Put sealant on tappet cover to fix leak, will do till i get a new gasket.

Things to do so far,

Radiator leaks... pretty bad actually.
exhaust rattles
timing cover clangs one engine when idle.

Going to swap my 15's onto it
GTi flares
Unsure about the 2 piece duckbill yet

Wash it

Pics to come, tis hot and i need a break haha

So i fitted a Later model Radiator with the External fill up tank thingy

Thing is the fan doesnt kick in and the water starts to flow out of the tank. (lid was off to get out air bubbles.)

The fan works, and so does the sensor as it worked 2 days ago in my other golf. Whats next point of call? i checked all fuses, checked earth wire.. no sure what to look for now.

EDIT, seems i has a wire missing from the G section on fuse panel, its G6 which going by the diagram i found is a radiator thermo switch. i have nothing there. but the wire is near radiator.
I cant see any unplugged plugs, so im guessing its been cut or something? not sure.. might run a wire from G6 to switch and see if it kicks in

SO progress on this one slow atm

Waiting on a new radiator to show up, wired in a Craig Davies Thermatic switch ready for the fan.
Carpet dash out of my Green one is in. was a good time to neaten wires and try fix a few problems. think i got most

Front lip on, Black strips off bumpers as bumpers need a polish, and the strips need painting.

15x7's all round, Got some thick swaybars to chuck on when i can be bothered to pick up the rest of the mounts.

Waiting on a Tappet gasket, manifold bolts, and head studs to hold tappet cover on.

Few pics, She may be up for sale soon so keep eye out

Nice work mate, got alot of problems that you can happily tick of as -done-.

I think you should leave that big duckbill, looks good imo. Coming together slowly, but nice at the same time. Not much left to get it going is there, apart from the bolts and gasket?

[GRN_VAGN]

Radiator put in
Carby back on manifold and manifold back on when bolts get here
Tappet gasket and studs
Fix oil leak around dipstick
Tidy inside and fix most of the electricall problems that i can.

Then sell

[FACT HUNTer]

My indicators were working intermittently as well , found it to be loose terminals where the negative wire meets the body connection , just behind the headlights.
Hope this helps.
