here is my project car

jasenklems · 09-30-2009, 05:09 PM

well this is it. sometime this winter or come spring I will have the motor and trans in this car....( 3.0l yamaha and 5 speed manual) The car itself has about 210,000 miles on it and when I bought the car the window on the passenger side did not work but I had a parts car so I just swapped out the doors. I still have to replace some of the interior wiring harness ( there are about 3 and they total more than 600.00) The body is in good shape no major dents and minimal rust..... The car is an auto but will be converted to a manual....
So all tell me what you think of the car I know that the picture is not very good , my camera phone doesnt work very good in low light.......

you may have to do some research on it... but this actually isn't the first time it's been done in a mk1.....

yea I know there is a kid named mike that is doing one I dont know if he ever finished it or not. but I plan on making it work with the factory or aftermarket engine mounts for the sho. not with 7 inch long bolts and cut up tires.... I hope to start on it in the next month or so as long as I dont get laid of from work. Im not bashing anyones work here dont think that it is just some people are willing to do something just to do it and wont do it safely or correctly. I give credit to mike for his work but I dont think that it is very safe to have the engine held in like it is, maybe that was just to set it up but I dont know........ I wish him all the luck.... And this is going to be a real nice and rare build......
