Mk1 Ibiza System Porsche

[Joey]

Lookin awesome man, I've got a long way to go, looking at a long haul to get my mk1 anywhere near this beaut!!

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Just got the stuff through to do the door cards, so I've quickly tacked it to the original card and put everything in place.

Will look a bit neater when I come round to installing it for real, and the seats will be getting covers

Quick before and after

Also got my eye on some Mk3 Golf VR6 coilovers for the front, they fit with slight midification i think, so hopefully I can get the front ed down another inch or so

very nice!

 

[Buzz123]

awesome car! reminds me of old golfs looks mint. would you ever sell this to me please

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Thanks guys. As for looking like a golf, this was the original design for the Mk2, but VW rejected it, and Seat bought the design. Some mk2 parts do fit.

As for selling it, I doubt I'll part with it as its been in the family from new. Also its worth bugger all lol

 

[Pervy_Paul]

And there she goes locked away for the winter (or until some cheap mk2/3 golf coilovers are found) for a bit more Lows on the front

Any of you guys know where to find the interior trim code on a mk1 Ibiza, me door card is missing a speaker trim!! Can't find anything 2nd hand so speaking to SEAT but they need trim code and I'm f*cked if I know where it is?? :/

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Trim code! not a clue, the paint codes on the bootlid. Maybe theres a code on the VIN plate.

Theres a place in Germany thats breaking a couple of Mk1 at the moment. Maybe send him a msg using google translate and hope it makes sense when he reads it

Nice one cheers I'll have a ratch, my local scrappy said he had 2 mk1's in. They are mk2's doh!

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Common problem that mate, I've trekked to a couple of scrappers only to find they're mk2's. Very few mk1s even at scrappers, most simply got chucked in the crushers. Spain and Germany are pretty much the only places I can ever find bits n bobs these days.

Lot of usefull stuff on German e-bay. Wiper switch comes with interior trim bits. I've several issues with my mk1 , hopefully can get sorted as welding is complete on bodywork and she runs like a dream (1.5i GLX) Bought this car for my mrs , but it grew on me fast and after I seen your beaut I thought maybe one day!
1) Rear Wiper works intermittant (testing motor tomorrow, I think its the switch)
2) Passenger Speaker/Door trim missing
3) Speedo doesn't work (transducer £49 from SEAT)
4) Electric windows were working but have stopped (switches or wiring)
5) Heater motor is noisier than the engine
6) Passenger door lock motor failed (universal one coming from e-bay)
7) Parcel shelf hinge brackets dodgy keeps falling backwards ino boot when t/gate lifts
8) Spare wheel in boot and missing jack/brace

Going to have a strip down tomorrow see what I need. Tried to post a few pics but i'm a bit techtarded and couldn't fettle URL to upload pics

 

[Pervy_Paul]

There was a jack on ebay uk for a fiver i think.
You're has many more mod cons than mine! lol

mine only has rear speakers, no central locking, no elecy windows. I've took the rear wiper off, so if motor on yours is buggered, let me know and ill post a pic of mine and if its same you can have it.

Parcel shelf is a dodgy thing, kinda pushes in to back seats, not sure if mine falls off as the gad struts are knackered so i have to ballance the boot on my head lol.

 

[Joey]

Haha you'll end up with sore head if you slam the boot! You can get aftermarket boot struts don't think they are badly priced. More mod cons means more problems like most cars, basic is best when you think of all the electric faults on newer cars. Seen the jack but I wasn't sure how it all mounted next to the engine, I've got two spares in the boot so i'll have a look tomorrow see how it all fits in there. I'll let you know on the rear wiper situation after tested , thanks.

 

[Pervy_Paul]

there should be a rubber strap that just straps it down under the spare wheel. I'll try and take a pic tomorrow for you.

Did you buy the car from Dobies? K***PLC

 

[Joey]

That's the one , bought it off the sales manager Alan he's left and went to skoda garage over the road

 

[Pervy_Paul]

Yep I sold him a pair of front wings for the red mk1 he had. Sadly he had to scrap that one as nobody wanted to buy it!

These 2 links may be of interest for you. Good solid car you've got there though
