Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Rego till october 2014

    All in all this car has been relatively problem free and will suit a racecar restoration or a proper back to mint condition restoration. My plan was to slowly bring it to that standard with a 16v twin webber conversion but that wouldn't be happening for a while with very strict parents and limited workspace so I'm after something more complete which can serve me well while I grow up a little and complete my studies.

                        Yeah it would make it fine. I'm currently arranging for it to be tuned properly to get the most out of it but I've been driving this all the time around Sydney and I've had no problems yet with the po po

                          thanks mate, i'm fairly new to oz and the different licensing laws between states etc. how would it work if i bought and drove back to bris?

                          once in bris i understand i'd need a roadworthy and then get ctpi and rego etc.

                          cheers

                            Tempting, got pics of major rust spots?

                            but if no fan or heater than it surely wont get RWC or don't you guys have those down in mexico?
