When a friend offered me a 1995 mk3 ABF for a bargain price i couldn't resist. I always wanted to build a mk2 ABF and after about 4 months of this ABF sitting on my drive, i finally bought a 1990 H reg 1.8gl.
completely standard, needs a few bits sorting but its one of the most solid shells i've seen.
Heres the ABF that im using as a donor car
I'm going to do some work on the mk2 tonight, and hopefully start stripping the mk3 down this week.
Rough plan is to use the ABF engine, 020 mk2 gearbox, mk2 subframe, mk2 gear selector, mk2 pedal box, cable clutch, rod change, cable speedo (mk2 clocks), mk3 petrol tank and lines, mk3 engine loom and mk2 lighting loom.
Will make up a to do list when i can think of one!
