1986 Jamaica Yellow 1.2L Project

Drove this yesterday as scott poped over, nice drive breaks were shocking(not used to small breaks)lol it is in better condition than my 91 Gsi and it is 5 years older good find, a little work and its going to be mint!

Nice find mate, very clean motor, its newer yet more retro than my Y reg :tard: lol, me personally, i'd be making it an uber low CLEAN Sr-rep-ish jamaican ting :thumb:

lol

But im sure whatever you do with it - it will end up ace!

love the colour mate ;)

Right, no real update, though i did get hold of the Billy suspension off djbrowney, im waiting to get the springs blasted, then zinc coated, I'll start on the shock body re-ferb soon, then im looking to pick up the 14" steelies.

Im getting frustrated with it sat there doing nothing, i think im going to just do what i like with it soon, as the missis is not going to pass her test any time soon (not started learning yet) lol

So...Might Snowplough, SR Rep it, not sure yet?

Scott

SR rep sounds familiar :)

will be a moss greeb and jamica yellow SR's to look out for lol

gopd wee project scott, perfect as a mk1 sleeper

Well not an update of any progress, just that i got some use out of it this weekend just gone, as the weathers been grate lately though i would treat it to a few trips out, and used her all weekend long!

And TBF apart from the slightly less responsive braking then in my other two cars, i really enjoyed the solid/relaxing fun drive i got from the car, so quite and smooth it's hard to believe it's over 22 years old!

So here's some pics of the missis old man's car, and her mum's nova mk5 lol
