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,

      Yep, It's here, however did you see the link to photobucket on the right hand side, it dosn't look quite as good now. But it will at some stage!

      I've spoke to a friend in the UK who is going to try and track down some repair panels (rear arches & panel)

            Stage 3a

            A good wash and clean about a week worth should do it, it's stood on the drive for the last four years untouched, a mate said we should run it up, so a new battery and it started just as I put the key in!!

            All that aside it needs a fair bit of work to get it up to scratch, I went to the show the other week didn't get there until late, was sad to see that everyone from here had gone?

            Sell it!!! "Over my dead body" just ask the wife! I'd sell her and the kids first!

            As the tag says "work in progress" but it will be back and I can't wait it drives like the devil.

            The colour, it's great a bitch to match, does anyone know what is?

              Looks like British Racing Green (BRG) to me ... but that's probably not a lot of help.

                Yes yes - I left early. It appears not only that white men can't jump, but this white man also couldn't stand the heat. I got burnt to a crisp that day and the day before so I left early.

                Get up some shots once she's all clean again.

                    I'll check under the carpet - thanks, hoping to start some work on it in the new year, how would you go getting compliance? Any one know someone who is dub friendly in that area?

                    It's just a plain 8v at some stage I'd like to "up grade the motor" (when I'm rich)
