My mk1 beginners engine rebuild - WILL IT START?!?!?

your not a show stopper spud but i still love you  

They should be ok, fyi it was around the fuel pump area on mine where they split. I think the bends in the pipes were quite tight and just cracked and split over time

glad to hear about the pass mate, always nice  

So another year and another attempt to put a few miles on the clock of the silver GTI.  Now that I am getting a smidging of my social/hobby life back I'm getting this thing on the road this year.  Speaking to Brucieboy and Funk-star… I need to get back into the MK1 life so taking their advice.  Hopefully have this running and on the road by next month!!

Be good to have it back on the road Spud  

This little beauty has been on the road over the weekend.  Pictures to be uploaded in the next week or so.

Hi Ant - hope you, Clare, P and any new additions to the tribe are ok.  Time's flown mate.

P is 11 !?!?!  Jeez that really is mental.. Eloise was a tiny, tiny newborn I think last time we all got together!!

Green one Funk had/has but the silver one is the one in the thread here its finally on the road.  Gunna take more pics soon.  You still got the G60 bud?  I think i remember you trying to get a car seat in it at one point for P to travel with you??
