good

Vinal decals are done and they came out incredible!! It's hard to believe these were made from scratch. If anyone wants a set I can get them out for $50 shipped.

Those decals look great! My car is decal-less lol, maybe I should get a set once I come up with a couple more bucks.

Quick Update: Still working on the vacuum leak / idle issue and trying to fix a non-functional linkage on the cabin temperature controls. Hope to get those sorted this week. None the less progress has been made. The Turbo steering wheel is on, the ported vacuum switch has been replaced, I found a wiper speed control module with an INT setting and popped that in as wells as a new glove box door. (My old one was scratched) and a new shift knob.

I’m still looking for a replacement seat fabric, if anyone has a source or knows of something similar, shoot me a line. This is the same fabric used in the early 90’s Geo Tracker LSI and the Suzuki Sidekick JLX

New paint job coming in the next couple of weeks. updates to follow

That shift knob looks great..where did you get it from?

It's cheap and I was willing to spend more but I liked this one the best, works well too.

Update……a lot has been done since I last posted ....the vacuum system is sealed, valves adjusted, new plugs, wires, VC gasket, distributer, coil, belts and idle up valves. The AC has been re-charged and blows ice cold, compression tests show 150 across the board and it idles beautifully. I took out the dash, rebuilt the heater box and installed a new heater core.

Today I installed new KYB shocks and struts and the only way I can describe the difference in ride quality is… WOW, it rides 100% smoother, make this your first fix/mod. I also aligned the wheels and installed new pads and rotors, not bad for a Sunday.

Tomorrow I’m going to be pulling trim, weather stripping, and lighting off in prep for painting.

The Sprint is at the paint shop . Just a quick photo update, some nice undercarriage shots of a California car and some shots of Sprint NA grill that I modified for my Turbo.

Cheers

The old shocks and struts were original, 25 years old. The change in the ride quality is indescribable









The new grill





Installed and preping for paint.



The interior spare parts are piling up, almost ready to do a complete interior restoration

good build here going on !

EXTERIOR REMODEL IS COMPLETE (almost)

Just got it back from paint. Put it all back together, added decals and bow tie emblem, lower lip, new windshield glass and rubber surround.

Still need to do a light tint on the windows and possible addition of a mk1 spoiler

Enjoy……

Interior restoration starts in August!

Just to mention that the hemi turbo three-pot convertible project is on the road at last, wiring problems ('88 motor and wiring into '92 car) solved.

It had stopped raining in Vancouver.

Well hello, nice job installing the g10t in the vert. Looks good

Since Josh lives just a few miles down the road he came over and took me for a ride. It looks showroom new on the outside, the pictures don't do it justice. I tortured the name of his body/paint guy out of him, mines next....

HAHA, maybe, but I’m over it.

As for you… you better load up your turbo and get the hell out of LA if you want to survive CARMAGEDDON . I heard refugee camps are being set up in Bakersfield and points north, and that the Chiclet kids from the border are planning to invade the 101. You should hop up to wine country and hang out with some other mk1 junkies.

hah, Carmageddon will be the true battle for L.A. -- i'll be going underground

Quick update, this last weekend I replaced the left front axle, and both the left and right front lower control arms as all of the above were very worn and showing their age. This weekend I'll be concentrating on the installing a reman starter to replace the current one with a bad solenoid. I'll also be replacing the oil pan gasket.

Don't bother using a gasket on the oil pan, it will likely leak.
Factory used silicone. The hardest part is getting the old
silicone out of all the nooks n crannies. Try a wire wheel.

I was looking at it last weekend and I saw the old silicone (now cracked and leaking about 3 drops a day.) I figured that last owner couldnt find the gasket. Thanks for the info, good to know.

now just throw it on a dynamometer
