well with a poor rebore and the block corroded, i'd say its best to source a new engine rather than throw money at an engine that will ultimately fail again & sooner rather than later

holding on to the ears like handlebars ROFLMAO not a stable relationship then but seriously.. could it be easily done (not so much from a technical point of view, I'm more curious about road legalities etc) a MK1 chassis is a heavy piece of kit to lumber an old nag with, and doing so won't make you...

hello and welcome
in answer to your question, earliest 1A cars had black trim bits,later 1As got colour coding & side skirts, transition or more commonly called "crossover" cars are 1B models from '87 model year onwards
