Mk1 Ibiza System Porsche

[thePHILosipher]

i think thats what a dealer would call a multi-functional steering wheel

looks ace, saw a white one up on eBay a few months back for a few hundred, was tempted as they are lovely little motors, you should keep it standard, otherwise i'll have to buy it

Different interior from my old 1.2 I'm sure. That was an awesome car, wish I had kept it now.

Pretty rare these days but could be very cool as a retro ride.

Its only a L so base spec I think. Think higher spec had 3 spoke steeringwheel and a few more mod cons, like a rev counter!!! lol

Theres a K plate on ebay for £950 done less than 10'000miles and looks like new!

single wiper too - ahead of it's time

Pretty sure mine had a rev counter, small one in the top lh of the dash.

Race car spec, mind you I think my Marbella did also.

Marbella's are the perfect race car on the grass oval, but only after fitting twin ZZr1100 engine's in the back that is

A ZZR1400 or Busa turbo engine in a stripped down mk1 could be quite fun! lol

Just managed to change the plugs, 2 were pretty rusted in there and proved a bit of a pain to get out, and 1 snapped clean in half as i loosened it off!

Just bought 5 litres of tetroseal underseal so i'll set about getting sticky and filthy under her next week!!
Tyres were replaced yesterday, and the wheel trims have cleaned up a treat, only got 1 with some marks on it, so Ill set about trying to get that 1 a bit cleaner during the week.

Waiting on 2 boot struts to arrive and a nearside door mirror (only came with offside mirror as standard)

I've placed a bit on thoese System Porsche door vynals, hopefully I'll win those and get them fitted in a week or 2.

With a bit of luck by Mid November it should be almost ready to show

Took her out for a spin earlier, Drives so much better with the new tyres and plugs.... Only thing thats REALLY ANNOYING me is this....

A Twin knobber and no bloody aerial on the roof.... 15mins stuck in traffic and I was ready for sucking on the exhaust. I think it may have to get changed for something slightly more modern! lol

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Well after changing the breather pipes and the plugs I thought I may aswell put some fresh oil in her now that shes running much smoother without any missfire.

Gotta say servicing on these old motors is cheap and easy..

Plugs £1.50 each
Breather pipe £2 for 2meters
Oil 4.5L £6
Oil Filter £2
Fuel Filter £1
Air Filter £3

£20 for a service cant go wrong at that!

Just started the horrid job of undersealing her with Tetroseal £17 for a 5litre tin of the messy stuff!

 

[p888uld]

never seen one of these before! really top conditcion for the age! and i like the price of that service! haha

 

[Murdered LCR]

Looks mint would look great on it's arse on ats cups

 

[cus]

there used to be one around my area, i thought they were pretty cool. glad this one is in such good condition take care of it!

 

[Blakrover]

That's really nice. I remember my mum used to have one of these and we always used to call it a porsche because of the porsche system decal down the side of the car

Love it!

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Cheers guys.

Just found a couple of pics taken back in 89 when the car was only a few weeks old. Im just uploading them now...

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Here we go. Taken back in May 1989 on my 7th Birthday at butlins in Skeggy!

Yep thats me laid on a 1970s sun lounger with my Grandad.

Hope I can get the car almost as good as new in memory of him
