The pictures may not show enough detail to pinpoint all the imperfections and may seem quite straight in the photos allthough i can tell you this thing has needed and will need alot of work in the future events to come. (hence why i picked it up so cheap in the first place) BUT i will add this is my FIRST CAR. yes you heard right #1. and i don't intend on selling it any time soon! or ever?
Here she is now

unfortunately i have no pics of what she looked like when i bought her (this is a good thing trust me) But since the purchase i have made the following alterations (excluding general mechanical work):
- new soft top (NB)
- New wheels
- New stereo + amps + speakers etc
- installed an NB windblocker
- New steering wheel
- bought a few things here and their for interior trim
- DIY respray on rocker cover with VHT wrinkle paint. (turned out awesome!)
- and a heap of other little things
NOW as the title states *NA6 FULL REBUILD* - The reason why i created this thread.
I am currently searching for a reasonably priced 1.6L long nosed crank engine with low KM's to replace my tired/ crank on the verge of dying short nosed 1.6 (280K km's)
I intent to strip the engine bare, clean up the bores, inlet and outlets, reseal and regasget the entire thing. New hoses, the lot. Chuck on a few extras before it gets dropped in.. like lightened flywheel, oil filter relocation kit etc etc..
Anyway i will be sure to take many photos of my progress and will keep this thread updated as i go so that in future it may help others thinking of steering in the same direction.
Thanks for reading.
