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,

                Delivered late last night in the rain. The ideal race car project car.

                It's a '76 2 door Swallow Tail.

                Pre-emission, rust free, no intrusion bars and it's not so original that you feel guilty racing it.

                The rear beaver panel has been replaced at some stage with a late model one but the car is otherwise a swallow tail.

                The White Golf is nearly finished, I've gone about as far as I can with it while keeping it street reg'ed. I plan to keep gaing track experience in it while I build this car into a dedicated track car over the next year or so.

                The first step will be to seam weld it and have a cage built.

                      Why ?
                      Every 76er has got one.
                      I've got plenty how many do you want.
                      Will trade for a GLS one anytime.

                        Looks good Pete. Will have to pop round soon to check it out.

                        I also have a few spare 3 doors bits if you need, and plenty of spare time to help out too

                          The bonnet's already claimed - As part of the deal for the car I have to replace some of the parts that the previous owner wanted to donate to his project.

                          It's all good though, I have found 2 MK 1s nearby with the parts I need.

                              Sorry. Not all 76's got the swallow tail bonnet.

                              They were all mixed matched.

                              You could have a normal 76 with all the other swallow tail part's except the bonnet or bever panel.

                              Or you could have a normal 76 with none of the swallow tail part's on it.

                              I think the only common part on all the 76er's were the chrome door handles!

                              VW Oz just put together the car's with what ever part's VW sent them, which were both left over panel's & the next year's panels
