Thought i would make a new thread as my old one has my previous 2 cars at the start and i thought it looked a bit messy:

So here we go! I bought Littlewoods Silver k10 off him for £250, knowing that it might need a new selector arm or gearbox!

Some of my plans are;


  • Drop it as far as i can (coilovers maybe)
  • New satin Black paint job Because i loved my matt black one i bought off quickdraw in 2008
  • Cover dash in camo fabric (easier said then done)
  • Standard original bumpers
  • New gearbox, wanted a 4 speed for the retroness
  • maybe 1.2 on carbs but not essential because i need a cheap run about for now

Those are the bigger mods i want to do for the moment
 
Some pictures off Littlewoods thread for those of you who dont no what it looks like

First thing i did was take all the stickers off the inside of the doors and the pillars!

Needless to say it took a few hours to get these off because there was so many of them on both sides of the car lol
 
Next thing that was on the list was having a scrub at the carpet! so i decided i would take it out and jet wash it!

Pic with the carpet out, you can also see the scabby looking door cards aswell which i later decided to make some new ones!

20 odd years of grim and dirt that come out of the carpet was like a black river running down my garden
 
Door cards that i made out of a thin sheet of wood and covered in leather! did ike them to start with but now want to recover them in blue camo

Because i made the cards out of a fresh piece of wood and didnt recover the original (mainly because they were wrecked) i decided to screw the cards onto the door! which also stopped a fair bit of rattling aswell to be honest!
 
Found this disaster on my way back home! wasnt sure at first what it was but with closer detail it turned out to be the rearview mirror :laugh:

much better now it black rather than pink/markerpen blue lol
 
Door card looks neat! (Y)
please don't scrap the bumpers they are quite rare and worth loads! £££
think they look awesome!
Keep up the good work!
 
Decided i would drop the rear a little bit more (roughly 20mm extra) some not very good pictures to show it! doesnt look any lower though lol

yea i think littlewood was going for a bit of a rat look inside the car but wasnt really to my taste (and my girlfriends to that matter lol)

yea cant argue with that, £320 (with the new gearbox and odds and ends) and i have a mot and taxed car

Sweet looking ride, not a bad idea on removing the car rug, door card look good, was it simple to do?

yea pritty simple to do! all i did was traced round the old door cards and then jig sawed it, then spray glued leather on! the doors were easy to dril into aswell because they are only thin

ive done the gearbox now! i swapped the nakered 5 speed for a 4 speed one! just havent put any pics up here so didnt mention it
 
Haha, fair one! Glad it got back ok, I got the tax reminder then a day later I got the DVLA change of ownership confirmation!
 
So after my girlfriend kept having a moan at me (as women usually do) i decided to investigate why the heaters woudnt work in the old girl (the car not the girlfriend lol)

After a bit of consideration and being able to find a cheap blower motor, i decided i was going to replace that!

Turned out it wasnt the blower motor (but now ive got a spare if anybody ever needs one) and it was only the fact that the wiring from the control panel to the motor was up behind the dash for some reason lol

but still atleast i have now got heaters and can see out of the windscreen

Bought a k11 for £300 from oxford, some of you might have saw it on pistonheads already, me and curtis went down to look at it and was amazed how tidy it was for that price!

78k on the clock, did have short mot and tax but that doesnt matter because it will be off the road in a matter of days, engine is sweet as a nut, will be breaking it for parts after ive finished with it aswell
 
update the cg 1.3 engine is now back into the k10! the engine is on 2 mounts and still being suported by the engine crane! will get pics up of the mounts for anybody that wants to see!

As some people have already discovered the drivers side mount will need to be welded and gear box mount looks to high, but might get away with drilling a new mounting hole on the mount and welding up the old one! also most certainly custom driver shafts, (might have a go at welding and sleeving myself)
 
nice work mate (Y) i had a fit when i seen my loom all separated thats why im going carbs. is there a difference in the k11 looms? mine came out of a R reg and it was just a mountain of wires if the earlier k11's had a simple loom i may reconsider injection.
 
That's not to bad I removed my entire sx loom to try and figure how to wire the Mazda loom in! That was a nightmare

Nice work
