    We know VW is better and MK1 is best.
    hardly. the handles, guages and seats only add to the car. the wheels on the other hand i do love but its time to let them go

    The blue beast has been written off (I was rear ended, pushed into oncoming traffic and hit from the front) but have picked up a 2 door swallowtail shell, all the running gear (engine, box, exhaust, coilovers etc) as well as interior are still sweet so will be fixing up the swallowtail and dropping everything in.


    Watch this space.

    Remain optimistic.

    Cheers dude, it really sucks bad but the best thing to come of it is I finally have an excuse to rip out the engine, properly rebuild it (cam just arrived) properly respray the thing and best of all its a swallowtail so can't complain.



    But now I don't have a car. Literally had been on the road for one month and 3 days.
