    Replaced a starter motor, I think the extra compression killed the old one.

    Painted it Red of course.

    Pulled out rear seat to get ready for Sandown.

    Cleaned up race tyres, They were pretty daggy after the last run, I must of had them a bit cold.

    This weekend I:

    - painted the grill and light surrounds matt black

    - refitted the duck-bill with propper nuts and bolts (removing the cable ties that were holding it on - courtesy of the previous owner ) So now it doesn't tuck under the car when I do over 50km/h

    I'm sure that these mods will give me an extra 15kW

    Also fitted the second baby seat (rear facing), and the small Mk1 looks even smaller!

    Still love driving it every day

    finally after a 3 week saga i got my mk1 running right, by tinkering some more with the **** carb! replaced front wheel bearing, replaced the driver side rack and tierod end. got a wheel alignment. got 12 months rego.

    its pretty much a stock mk1 with no more niggly faults......im lovin it! all i want now is some lowered springs and front swaybar, and i'll be very happy!

    long list for me today. As I have always avoided electrics, I learnt much by experience today.

    Removed existing single acc. High beam relay to low beam.

    Added dual acc. Relay for high beam and driving lights - need to put a switch on the driving lights so they are not all the time.

    Resprayed the centre console from silver back to black

    Added clock and volt meter.

    Installed fire extinguisher.

    Next is to fix the rust hole in the bonnet. Never done bodywork either! :/
