MK2 8v GTI Capri Green

Well as some of you know I bought this coming up to a year ago from an advert off here for something to mess about with !!!!





First off changed the seats and door cards as the others were a little tired and I didnt like the pattern



It needed a PAS rack so that was sorted and then found that the head gasket had also gone so......

















Head is back on but didnt get a pic

Have also changed springs/shocks, rear lights, steering wheel, headlights........its been slow going but getting there now

Cool I'm after a mk2 seen a very nice one down in Bristol when my pay rise happens I'm getting one did you and baz do the head gasket mal

Baz did the headgasket... Mal just stood and watched.

(kidding)

I remember when I had to do a head-gasket on one of my Mk2 8v's... it was a nightmare getting the downpipe off the manifold!

Looks like a really nice motor. First time I've seen any decent pics of it!

Baz did all the timing - I wasnt gonna attempt that

downpipe actually wasnt as bad as I thought but may have spoke too soon as its going back on this weekend

Looks really tidy. I love them in Capri Green too and you don't see many of them.

Cheers Simon....downpipe all hoses and wirinig done this morning...to do list:

New number plates
Brake fluid and bleed brakes, clean discs up etc
Antifreeze
Oil + Filter
Rocker cover and air intake to re-fit

Then the all important moment.....will it run !!!!!
