Going to take this one to the GTI festival in Santa Pod on 11th April. Me and Zambeaky should be meeting up in Wellingborough if anyone is going that way and wants to convoy in.
I'm wondering wether or not to put him on the stand though as he's a bit of a rusty old get!!!![]()
seriously cool wagen dude! 2.1 16v would be a bit naughty!
I'm going up GTi spring fest hopefully, you guys on the MK1oc clubstand?

I've got play in the steering wheel and a bit of play on the drivers side wheel. Think I need to replace the tie-rod end…. bud should be ok to get to the AGM and back…. also got noise from the engine/water pump…. this things needs overhauling to get everything sweet but time and money just aint there at the minute due to wedding/job worries and saving to move house :roll: …… need a lottery win :mrgreen:
