just picked this oem car cover for free.

 

Very nice! That's with the heavy 91 doors and full interior too, right?

 

i got a crx car cover and love it

 

 

Page 44 was awesome!!

CBE, paint looks verry good
Chemist, nice progress. Do you have a estimated completion date? We all know EF's never get finished in time

NHswap's. The paint and everything look great in that photo

 

ive been looking for a mint oem car cover... just picked up brand new oem rear splash guards for pretty cheap now I gotta find new fronts to match.

 

yeah had some rock chips in the jamb from not running inner fendersthanks dude

thanks
black sux tho.
it was painted b4. i just fixed inside the jamb...i could have came to the front of the quarter with the tape but its easier to paint the whole rocker and the bottom of the qtr. and put my tape line under the moulding

 

the rears are still avil from the dealer, i got a set of fronts and rear bnib

 

thanks man

 

Really? you got new front and rear from the dealer?

 

Na i found someone sellin them new that he had sitting around since 98

Bob, i haven't the slightest idea when ill be done lol, im shooting for spring.

 

the rears are actually pretty cheap through the dealer. thanks for the tip! i assumed that they would be discontinued like all the other accesories

 

Heres my EF as of today:

Just finished my first autox season and its awaiting a winter rebuild, i have alot of new goodies and ideas, however this has been occupying all my time:


Just got it running a week ago, the last time this car started was in 1976, and came right to life with "minimal" work Plenty of new parts, but minimal troubleshooting

 

I LOVE ghia's!

 

You guys are giving me great inspiration for my civic now.

Congrats to all with pics of paint, tucks, and other progress. I don't say it enough here, but very impressive.

Hopefully I'll get some work done this winter. And sorry I still havent posted pics of the GTI or the projekt civic. I'll try to get some snaps this weekend. But here's a sample from this past weekend Bonelli Park VW Meet - my car is the second one in the shot, following my friend in the panda jetta coupe and in front of another friend with a 20th anniv GTI -



But let me preface that by saying - NO CAR MADE AFTER 1988 SHOULD HAVE SOO MANY VACUUM LINES!!

Yes, I had a minor vacuum issue on the GTI shortly after taking ownership, I had a frustrating idle issue. I had to do a lot of tracking down, replacing vacuum lines, etc. Turned out it was a faulty part (ISV) which I was lucky enough for someone to give me at the VW meet for free, so everything is working perfectly again.

Nice! Many Vw guys consider bonelli to be the best show in the US for the old watercooled's. Im jealous im not in cali to have gone myself

More pics of the MK1 I know how those vacuum lines go on those cars. The littlest leak and the car will act so erratic. Is yours CIS?

 

It was a great meet, very friendly people. It's actually a 92 MK II GTi, but yeah CIS-E I believe. I just read my friend's Bentley manual on it, and DAMN, Germans like to be overengineered. You need special tools for most stuff and other stuff not so adjustable.

Idle in Honda - like 2 or 3 possible items, easily adjusted.
Idle in VW CIS-E - like 20 potential areas to look at, no simple adjustment.

 

My buddy at Hasport sent me pics of my newly blacked out mounts!

 

I can relate, i was so happy to be rid of my mk1 cabby and get into an aircooled. IT doesnt get much simpler than an aircooled 1500

Bart, mounts look nice

 

LOL, I was actually thinking the same when I saw your Ghia.

Bart - Mounts look sick man - straight powdercoat or anodize?

 

Looks sick bart! Can your buddy hook it up with some stuff too?

 

I wish, he couldn't even get me a break on my mounts. I got them from JDMcars.com on here for like 165.00 off. His friend makes all the cnc stuff for Karcepts, and got my mounts anodized with one of his batches for me.
