BBM MK2 - Daily goes in for another small resto. NOW FINISHED (sort of)

[Mr Blue]

haha chers man!

TBH it was in a very bad state. It was ''euro'd'' out and stuck in year 2004. Chrome trim bumpers, crystal lights etc.

Just replaced all crystal lights and aftermarket crap with OEM stuff and polished the thing  Simples

Very happy with it overall. Underside is rot free and fully polybushed etc which. Brakes are uprated to suit the ABF power.
The parcel shelf is very unique and someone must know who owned it in the past

Is that Lenso's its sporting?

Its hard adjusting coilies when the top mounts that always have un-even ware even though i replaced them together 

Anywho...

Finaly got the mk1 ABF on road.

Rubbish pictures but...



 

I Love you....... I hate you... I love the car, I hate it!....... I want it..... no I don't... do I?

Is that Lenso's its sporting?

is there a lot more difficulty fitting a abf to a mk1 over a mk2 sat ??

[Mr Blue]

After tinkering with this there is not much to it! Its running full OEM management. I was lucky enough to find this conversion complete in the car. Just needed some electrical issues sorting.

Not an ABF expert but the hardest bit seems to be the cut and resposition of the engine mount in the mk1 and the downpipe clearance as it is very close to the steering rack.
Then brakes to suit.

I'd say easier in a mk2 in that case.

MK1's in general have manifold clearance issues in my experience if not standard, One of the pipes from the four branch is like 10mm from the main steering boot and melts it if not wrapped.

Those wheels look spot on without centres.  look like period race wheels.

What brakes have you got on it?

oh and    :

[Mr Blue]

some low pro tyres next. They are baloons!

Brakes are 239's at the front, mk4 real caliper disk conversion, Porsche servo and porsche master cylinder. Bios valve is inside the car. Brakes are very sharp! Makes the G60 setup on the mk2 feel unsafe
