My Mk1 Project

After regretting selling my old Ex VAG racing/track Mk1, I jumped in with both feet and acquired another Mk1 of Razzer. I should have given the car a better look over as she requires a fair bit of body work but is basically sound and has a few nice bits being a Ex Slick 50 race car.

This is just a rolling shell, and the idea is to give the car a thorough revamp, and put the engine and gear box from a Seat Ibiza Cupra 20VT that I bought from salvage.

Looks good from a disstance but :

The cage looks ok here but:

So, it's going to need sills replacing, roll cage sorting, new drivers side floor pan and box section as thats also knacker'd with use of jacking the car.
I will put some more details up as and when, but I'm hopeless with computers!

 

Like I said I'm hopleless with computers, and even worse at posting pictures HELP

 

Thanks for all your effort, but I still don't have a clue how to use the direct link, but I will perssist.

 

Sounds like its going to be a right weapon!!

 

Lets hope so, and I seem to have master'd the posting of pic's now

 

Are there any pics of it in its slick 50 form ive googled it not much on images

 

Sorry but I dont have at the moment, other than the car was originally white on a 83 Y plate and last raced by Ian Fowler.

I did have another Ex slick 50 racing Mk1, that was Black and was last raced by Clare Tippet, when I get some time I will post a few pics of that one.

 

My old Mk1 race/track beast

Here are a few picks of me and my son on a track day at Castle Come around 2007 in Claire Tippets old VAG race car. This was also purchased as a rolling chassis, I managed to get hold of a 2Ltr bubble block motor from TSR at the time, and it ran a genuine 145 hp with loads of grunt, I sold the car to a guy in Reading.

 

great project, good luck

 

Cheers James, I will keep you posted

 

Drivers side sill now fitted


On with the floor now.

 

Nice job on the sill, whats the plan for a cage, are you using the old one?

 

I was originally planing to use the cage that was in the car, but will probably have a complete new professioal weld in job.

 

Nice project
