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,

      So is it going to be ready for the Nats? If you want me to take you for a drive you'll have to take me for a buzz in yours.

      I Love the sound of an 8v with a decent sized weber on it.

                          umm too much work and no one wants to buy it?! its not sitting in my yard for years.... if you want it talk to Jarred or I about it
                          Jarreds definately taking the front panel, and if no ones going to buy it im chopping out the pillars cos they are rust free...

                          would make a good rat, would be shame to scrap it i'd rat it if i didnt already didnt have 6 other cars at my house!

                                Sure it's rare, (ish) but if no one wants it, there ain't much you can do. I'll be pulling the clean doors off for my car. hatch has a spot and a hole of rust. havn't fully checked the floors, but they'll be rusty, probably fixable, but rusty.

                                This car will be going after easter (tues or wednesday) so if anyone is interested in it, speak now or forever regret! hahaha
