Dazza 's Pug 1.9 GTI

[Dazie00 2 2 Cars]

 Hi guys

 

Bought this  Off Scott last week ,  90 H phase 2   ,gonna be my little project , i'm no mechanic so will be asking lots of dumbo questions , apologies in advance for that .

Been stood for many years , only going to  the mot station by the look of things .

It's not got a garage to live in , gonna use it for a weekend toy , so it's not gotta be perfect but very useable .

Going in for full service / cam belt and clutch this week so see where we are from there . A few small niggles  to sort out .

 

Jobs i'd like to get done 

 

Want to get the sunroof vacum working  , not to sure what the problem is here atm, also get the surround trim  back on 

Wheels refurbed, new tyres 

New stereo/speakers 

 

I'm sure in time will have to sort brakes, suspension and a respray

 

 

Are most parts available new still ?

The sunroof is often the handle is broke or the cable siezed or broken , it only works with the engine running to provide the vacuum.

Each little job on cars like these make it a nicer and nicer thing to drive as you can feel you've made a difference, spurs you on for the next fix . Keep going !

Grill painted and a new badge , new retro Pioneer which is quite cool IMO and new Pioneer speakers in doors and  also filling the holes in the rear shelf which is what i did have in my first GTI  back in the day .
