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,

  • i nearly threw in the towel

    hey all,
    i thought it was about time to introduce myself... i've lurked around the forums for a while but have never posted before.

    after searching through the forums, it seems that i own a vento that has been posted before: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ead.php?t=2035

    i've had her for a little while now... but on inspection after a recent clean, i found some rust bubbles in the roof near the windscreen. i was pissed and decided that i would sell it and move onto a merc, or another rotor (two different worlds).

    i can't bring myself to sell her though... so i think its time for some mods and tlc

    i've got a couple of ideas that i'll photoshop when i get a chance, but first the before shot



    cheers for putting up with my ranting,
    jay
