Watson’s engine rebuild - new mot and a few new pics....
When it fired up I am sure there was a small grin on your face :wink:
Think how good it will feel on your first drive
Poss going to make the AGM as luckily I have not yet booked my hols and the start of July is when we always go so hopefully myself the wife and 2 boys will make it to see HGT. :mrgreen:

Just read your whole thread, that's amazing! I didn't think there was much left to do on yours but it now looks factory fresh. I'd be pleased if mine (eventually! ) looks half this good.
Make sure you're not afraid of driving her though
I think she should last a few more decades now
Cheers

As usual Dave, top quality work and it no doubt looks better than when you got it in 1990 as well as sounds better :clap:

The only thing is I am in Scotland and I think the Vw is from Germany but :dontknow: :wink: :mrgreen:
Thought the red would go with the car and the white picks up the new wheels

Thanks for the comments. Pleased to say HGT passed the mot this morning and had the tracking done. Then back on the trailer for the 100 mile trip up to the NEC to join Kaz5's low mileage cabby, Yomp's stunning black GTI and Bert's Citi Golf on the club stand. We got there late in the day - and missed the cakes again. Thanks for the Subway Dan - was starving !
Hey Watson, how u doing buddy? car looked great on the stand at the NEC, i had a good look at it, love the detail in the bay. Hope to catch with you soon mate.

I picked up some more ideas at the NEC on how to improve the car, so maybe the rebuild isn't finished.. Looks like a few more jobs to do over the winter months. Looking forward to some shows next year, especially the AGM.
Thanks again to Steve G for all his help, and seeing the project through from start to finish - and the use of his Transporter and trailer. Also the guys at Crazyquiff's for their help on my regular Saturday morning visits with shopping list.
Cheers,
Dave.
