Hi,
As some of you know i've been looking at the only MK2 180 for sale in Spain and most probs in europe at this moment in time.
Well i picked it up today , took a 9 hour drive , overnight hotel and 9 hours of driving back. Nackard is a understatement. Our hotel was 10 seconds walk from the car which was ideal.
Met the guy at 10:30 and took a look at the car. Bodywork is in mint condition which is very surprising for a Spanish car ( Bumper cars ).Interior was in good condition with no mods , seats are also in good condition. Popped the bonnet to find that the engine had been removed , no surprise as the guy said it had been dismantled.
I asked him wheres the engine and he pointed to a pile of mixed engine parts to the side of the car. At this time my hand hit my forehead.
Not only had he stripped every single part of the engine down , he also stripped the gearbox down to the gears. Finally found all of the engine and various other parts and filled the boot and rear seats.....
Winched it onto the recovery truck , went to sign over names and set off home.
So ,
Having a quick look when i arrived home , i need the follow:
Driveshafts
Radiator
Gearbox
This is what i've noticed so far. I'm not a mechanic and nor have i changed an engine before so this is a big project for me. i've already got an engine on the way from Zred
I hope i can ask dumb questions along the way into this build.
Pictures shall follow tomorrow !
Thanks
