        There's all sorts of Bunnings solutions in my cars too. I cruise the isles looking for stuff to make into other stuff.

        "Bunnings parts for MK1 s" could almost be a section in it's own right.

                It is indeed, maybe i should start a build thread on that one in the general section... It gets more attention that my golf!

                  rare as rocking horse poo those old dungers! The old joke was that the 240K was the warranty expressed in kilometres.

                    But the coupes are pretty hard to find now (in one piece and running!).

                      they had a propsenity for rust and failing electrics. Indeed they are rare and unique. A mate had the 4 door which I used work on with him-rust killed it off. A nice 240z engine would give it a kick along

                        I know this is detracting from my thread, but it has a fuel injected R31 motor in it and all the wiring has been removed from the engine bay so it looks a lot neater, it fair flies when it's got a nice bit of road. I think (from memory) it has had a 5sp put into it too.
                        The rust has been killed off in it, and we've got new panels for it too. Just focussing on getting my MK1 finished at the moment, then that will get some love and attention. It is a pretty special car...
