breaking red/black 1.3 mk2 squareback

Featured Replies

Breaking has begun on my 1988 1.3 mk2 squareback.

it started life as a 1 litre with a blown head gasket, it has since been fitted with a 34K 1.3 engine run on a pierburg carb

it has the clocks from a coupe S so has the rev counter and red trim

lowered 80/70 on PhilJ shocks and springs

now sprayed matt black

no MOT

no tax

this is how it looked in its prime:

when i first got it:

and now that it is black:

it was ready for an MOT when i discovered an air leak in the inlet manifold, I've lost interest in the car now and didnt have it in me to take it apart again after changing the carb 3 times.

thanks.

the breaking has begun, so far the suspention, both wings, grill and bonnet are gone.

the rest is up for grabs, anything you want, however Mr. PhilJ is coming over tomorrow to rape it so ill update after the carnage has subsided.

engine was running fine until the air leak happened, its a 34K 1.3 engine and 4 speed gearbox, £50 if you wanna come get it.

seb - yes you should indeed have bought it, now look whats happening!!

can-man - mirror - £12 posted and i dont have those caps any more, i do have some G60 style ones though (the small black dome shaped ones) also £10

htidtrooper - dizzy, air box and glove box.. call it £30 ?

baxter123 - no sorry dude i sold the roof rack to a mate on here a few months back

robbodred - i dont know where abouts that is on the car ? nothing has been touched in the engine by yet though so i assume it'll still be there if you want it ?
