As stated in my newbie post the cheap ?150 runaround I purchased is to become my project, the plan is to strip the car down to chassis, and respray the whole thing, except putting it back with different (better) parts, eg engine suspension, brakes, exhaust. At present it's a completely standard 1.3 MK2.
Now here's where I need your help, with it being a carb at the minute, I need to know if it's worth replacing the fuelling system and going for a 1.8 16v injection, or a 1.8 8v carb, I've not got a clue how much effort is need to change the car to an injection, but please remember the car is getting completely gutted, so fitting new parts won't be difficult, just don'ty know what new parts I need.
Next, I have none of these parts as of yet, I'm looking to start buying end of this month, and buying most at the end of March / April, in short I want uprated everything (obviously with a bigger engine going in), so who's selling what? The only panel I need is o/s door (it's a 3 door by the way), but I'd like to change the clocks for something with at least a rev counter!, A nicer interior would be better, and of course engine, gearbox, loom, brakes, suspension, exhaust, air filter (why not!), fuel tank if I'm swayed towards the injection engine, Central locking / alarm if anyone's got any of this stuff, rims, front and rear GTi bumpers, and a nice set of rims, if you can help me with any of this please, please PM me, I need to get a list done, as I'm only going to have 4 weeks to do this from start to finish!
oh and MG Flip blue, or VW White?
