South West Newbie!

Hey folks, just a quick hello. Just moved to Braunton, North Devon and hope to get out and about to various club meets once the car is back on the road. She's garaged for the mo for some welding and a new engine/box.
Be back on the road soon!

Cheers

Bet you will miss it while you wait for the new box, engine and welding buddy!!

How long you had it?  I like it mate  :wink:

Welcome aboard buddy

Aw man, you have no idea!! Been driving the wifes '75 bug in the meantime, and as much as I like it, it's no Golf! She's trying to convert me to aircooled, hehe.

And thanks…have had it since last summer, but just been running it the way I bought it. Currently awaiting the sale of my flat back home so I can start spending some proper cash on it!

Cheers for the welcome  :y:

welcome, they both look sweet, tell your mrs thar her bug needs slamming, a bit like your golf!

Hehe, will do mate, but she doesn't need telling, she already has a long list of things to do, including putting it on the deck!

Cheers

Thanks m8 - the photos make them both look better than they are, hehe, but they're both ongoing daily-driver projects.

You can't imagine! Well….maybe you can. But yeah, I cannot wait. It's just frustrating as I can't start the work until my flat is sold back in Inverness. Seems like it's taking forever for the joiners to finish!

And I sometimes wonder if she's a wee bit too low….only got about an inch and a half clearance between the tarmac and downpipe! Not necessarily suitable for a daily driver!! ….but handles ohhh so well
