I vote for push button ignition but it has to look like the oem a/c switch so passengers try to use it.

I'm deleting my A/C, to include the blower motor and everything under the dash. I decided to keep the controls just so I didn't have to custom make anything, and it looks OEM.

I'm just beginning to get into this. Well, my motives are primarily weight reduction and relocation, but now that a few things are missing from the engine bay, I'm wanting to go even further and make it look nice as well.
I relocated my battery to beneath the passenger seat the other day, and the metal platform that the battery previously sat on in the engine bay is beginning to bug me. I'll probably just drill it out, but then I'll have holes to fill. What are other people doing to fill such holes? Options seem to be: 1. Press copper up to the holes from the bottom and fill them in with a mig welder. 2. Make a patch and solder it in like this guy has. http://wiki.owwm.com/Repairing%20Hol...t%20Metal.ashx 3. Rather than drilling out the welds, grind the areas around the welds enough for the piece to come off without leaving any holes. Any insight from guys who have done this before would be swell. |

That looks pretty good. Did you have to smooth out any divits with bondo, or is that paint over raw metal? I'll probably go that route since it seems to work well, and is the least destructive. I might hold off on it for a while though since repainting the engine bay is more than I'd like to do just now.

i'm a novice at body work, so I thought it would be best to drill out the spot welds, worked great bbut if you miss any bits it make a complete mess like i found out, going to have a panel welded over the top for me.

Love those cars, fun right out of the box. Besides the Renault GTA, we as Americans missed out on some really good sub-compacts from Europe at that time. But the first GTI was the best.

I'm not shure if I need one. I picked up a 70mm billit throttle body. The intake manifold needs to be bored out about 10mm more. |

It's not that far off but a spacer would probably be the easiest way to fix the problem. Did you mount the throttle body upsidedown? I think it would look a lot cleaner and be easier to hide the wires.
