Spotted 2 mk2's in my hometown of Hereford today! A black early mk2 but with round headlights and odd wheels and a red scala (going past B&Q if your on here?).
Makes a change, only spotted one other round the ford before!

Yeah I might be! How much and any pics? Cheers matey

After rewiring my stereo from scratch (previous owner had chopped and wired it in the most weird way and didnt work), i decided some ebay bargain 6x9's needed to fill the holes in the shelf. Also for the cheese factor a naked lady/trucker dash decoration was mounted inbetween them. Hope no one takes...

Spotted on the M40 on Friday afternoon, near Gaydon i think (haha... )

You did this swap in a 1.6 gt? I always thought converting to a injection was a massive pain in the rear. I have no real mechanical experience but am learning as i go along, how hard is the conversion for a relative amateur? A step by step guide may be useful for a lot of peeps :hugegrin: haha. Cheers

I have a 1.6GT, they run 75bhp (when new!) so they arent the quickest of engines. Ive still got a pierburg carb on mine and its done 160k miles, still running sweet as.
I am planning a engine swap, but unless your going to be using her for motorways, the 1.6 isnt a bad engine at all in my book.

Managed to completely rewire the CD player that came with it today, so i now have music in the rocco!!! Heres a few more pics then for you to have a gander at! Glad you like it, tried to style her a bit differently to the other rocs out there. I get a lot of points in it, hope thats not just chavs e...

YEAH... are you mates with Pete cochran?!?! Small bloody world, i went to uni with him!

I got a set of JOM's off ebay. £200 is a bargain and they are pretty good actually! rides on the hard side, but i have got mine wound down a lot.

Yeah bike carbs have always tickled my fancy but seeing those r1's on that thread and the retro cars 1.3 polo in the flesh has really got me thinking. Looks so good and cheap as...

Proof that it can work, im still unsure tho in general... i think the spoiler is a key defining feature on the mk2's.... anyone tried fabricating a mk1 style boot for the mk2?!?! hmmmm

I was in my works van (blue 'Irwin' merc vito) on other side of the carriageway, prob was you then! Only got a quick glance, but looked very smooth.

Yeah i might be interested in the valver, how much you looking at? Prob do a bit of a rebuild ie gaskets etc before i attempt the conversion anyway, whats the milage like? As said in the other thread im running a 1.6 carb, but a 16v on some bike carbs is taking my fancy

Thats great, thanks for the info! Def food for thought.... what engine did it have before as ive got a 1.6 GT with a whopping 75ish horses under the hood... haha

Cheers Jay, that sounds like the way to go then! Someone's put R1 carbs on a 16valver and it looks ace...... got a lot of swatting up to do i think!
