I think they had their time and not sure how they would look now, If there was a real time warp barn find and had one I'd still take it off , plus you would not be able to see the high level brake light otherwise ,😆

Update , Having had the first chance to drive over the weekend its not too bad, it needs a resolution but soon found other issues more important to resolve first,

Need to sort the insurance on mine so a little discount is always welcome,

It did start as a 1300 XL Auto , but changed to a 2L with Type 9 by a previous owner somewhere along the ownership chain, Might of had an old Sierra hanging about.

The Photo unfortunately doesn't show it properly,Im sure its a Mk2 cable at the bulkhead end as its the large plastic bit fitted, but the actual cable length just seems too long , could it be a Sierra cable ?

Found out why the clutch is a little flaky , Is there an off the shelf solution as it looks like when it was changed from a Auto to manual they used a Mk2 clutch cable and it does not have enough reach to make the pedal come up high enough , Andy

Hi All, After recently regressing back to my childhood and now have 4dr Mk1 , been through all the electrics and they are all ok now but had to replace the heater motor with a Mk2 item, High points a previous owner has fitted a 2L OHC and 5 speed box but does need some fettling to sort it properly (Automatic shell so no buggering about there) , It has had some stripes sprayed a'la Mexico come RS which will be removed but not a high priority yet, Its spent its time with me on axle stands while the brake and suspension and swapped from the original drums to something that works, all the rest is in ok condition but will need attending to at some point as they all do. I will ask questions and tech advice than will have been asked years ago but I wasnt here then so didnt know, Andy
