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,

          Very sad

          But I don't know what to look for in the underbody shot.

          On the (very small) upside, it's removed a Getz from the road.

                Thats not cool. Very nice looking Porsche. Hyundai drivers drive like theyre back in Korea (sorry if people on here drive one).
                Your car can still be fixed but im sorry to say it might be rather expensive.

                  Not nice.

                  The main thing is that you are alright.

                  That's the second nice 911 that I know has died in the last few weeks.

                  Friend of the family had a bad weekend at the Shannons Phillip Island Classic.

                  This was the end result. Thankfully he suffered only minor injuries.

                            she's well dead, the whole front end would require cutting and welding a new front on and if the numbers don't match then she is worth nothing. Was such a great car, immaculate and damn did it go with all the engine mods. Well time to look for another one........once the wrist mends from breaking the steering wheel

                              Luke are you going to buy it from the wreckers and part out the gearbox and engine? You had the G50 in it right? Any Limited slip diff and was it running the 3.2 or 3.6?

                              Kinda thinking about maybe changing to a G50 in mine when we do some upgrades we were talking about the other day so might be interested then in the gearbox.
