Hello new to this board . I'm an old vw guy really but I fancied a change and after missing out on the gold 4 door on ebay by 5 mins I picked this beast up on tuesday!!    She's dented and a bit rusty and been in a garage for 10 years but she runs and goes .A day or two on the brakes and a day or ten on the welder and jobs a good'un. Plan is to get her on the road ,get her on the deck with some rims and maybe engine transplant in the summer. cheers chris |

cheers chaps.  140 quid .......sweet. I'm looking forward to getting the welder cranked up. I'll have a go on the brakes at the week end so it's a bit easier to move about. Here my normal weekend ride:  |

Nice purchase What are your plans for the engine bay? If you want to upgrade the front brakes i can do you a good deal on a big disk conversion |

got the front caliper unstuck today with the good old grease gun trick.
gease nipple on a brake fitting . worked it a few times with a G clamp and all sorted .New flexy and everythings sweet
3rd gear sounds a bit sus but we'll see how we get on .
Any one got a stock gearbox left over from a conversion??

yeah that would be cool .
I've been looking out for an axle (manta) for a while but they don't come up very often it would seem and when they do they are big bucks.
