I got this in 2013 as a fuel saver run about car.
Bought it because my first car was a Fiat Uno 60s, I wanted another but none were available then I saw this!
Started work on it who knows when.
Fixing issues as they arose. One electrical issue that was very troublesome was finally resolved when I found this.
The light bolt was shorting the wire onto the body.
So glad I found that. As I would have random issues where fuses would blow all over the place.
Someone relocated the horn…
Replaced the worn shocks with Bilsteins.
Was a lot nicer to drive after that.
Found some retro wheels.
I ended up stumbling across these as well.
Carroll Shelby Abarth wheels
Much cooler IMO
Fitted!
Found a mk2 Golf front lip.
Fast forward to this year.
I asked Gulf to sponsor me stickers for the New Zealand Leadfoot Vintage racing festival.
They said yes!!!
So I got onto making a stripe and some numbers.
Used string to make sure the stripe is straight.
First time dealing with large decals.
Was fun!
Had to do the centre caps too
Result
It got a fair few comments.
I love the look for now.
