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,

      It was, but he sold it on to this bloke who was going to restore/mod it but obviously didn't bother.

      The first & third pics are Cam's original pics from when he sold it so are at least 10 months old...

          VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
          There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

            They were repaired.
            And it is a very clean car, no rust, tottally original, only thing wrong was the auto gearbox.

                        A KM1's Primary purpose shifted a long time ago, now they are no longer daily drivers, This one is an awesome base for a project. I wish our VW scene was twice as big as it is now. Someone would have snapped it up whilst the cars are still around and can be put in garages, made into awesome respectful projects, driven on the weekends, brought out at hillclimbs and track days and drooled over at meets . Judging by the number of hits vwwatercooled is getting lately that day might be just around the corner

                          They make excellent dailies. I beat on mine, drive it like I stole it and it remains healthy all the time! Yet to let me down!

                          Eff the scene doubling in size. I love the looks the cute simple/square front end gets from all the people who haven't seen a MK1 before.

                            Well maybe its primary purpose hasnt completely changed but its along way from being the old ladies car to take to the supermarket isnt it. , BUT I think we do want more people in the scene, bigger shows more cars done up... when you see mini meets their is always tons and tons of them and that was just what i used to see in TAS.
                            Hey you are absolutley right about being able to Beat on it and driving it like you stole it and They sure are something Special !!
