Okay well here is where I would start.
Kirkeys are fine, can become a pain in the ass / lower back, young kids don't care. 914 stocks are better, Stephan's sets are the best for long trips. Ditch the cage even if the top fits, your head will not survive a hit with the cage. Projectors retrofitted could work @Gint would now for sure as one of his cars has a set he is driving to Okteenerfest with it right now. A lot of oil cooler for a 1.8L unless it is not a 1.8L, but judging from the EFI it is a 1.8L. It could be needed if other cooling systems where not up to the task. The 1.8L with L-Jet is a nice engine, I ran one for a while with the 96mm pistons and jugs to make it 1995cc motor, short stroke 2.0L was great fun. Did not need an external oil cooler on it. If your son likes all of this stuff then great, the cage has to go, as been said a 100 times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif) If it runs and moves under its own power and you don't see the ground it is a good starting point. Keep it running and driving and fix small things at a time. I can not count on my fingers and toes how many "project" cars I purchased where people got discourage by it not running, no site at the end of the tunnel to get it going, I lost interest, etc.... |
