yeah, not much that we can do about it... New cars just seem to depreciate shockingly in the first 2-3 years..

Hoyhoy. Gee Stu, that's a big loss in a short time.

nice one... I know guys who have swapped out the internals of the turbo and had a 0-100 car that could do 2.9 seconds!!! Always loved that colour...

nice enjoy the new toy

Just made it worse at home .... added a Golf R :jump: Was the last new manual Golf R on sale in QLD. Will be selling some Korean cars to...

could be a small leak in the pipe work that you won't see when it heats up (and then expands)..

Thanks Eddy for reply. It might be a mixture of issues, I don't know. Shaking can result from the mounts, but why the rpm goes up about 2000 rpm at...

Yes itÂ’s a steep learning curve, but fun and thereÂ’s a certain logic to the way these cars are designed and constructed, in my opinion. Research...

Looks like this is going to be a massive research project as much as it will be a hands-on project :-)

cool :2cool:

Work in progress.

Pretty much finished the interior strip down of all furnishings. Studying the now exposed heater system, it strikes me as a lot of cumbersome piping...

Thanks for advice. I got a pointy nosed shifter in the steering wheel hub and measured it as a 24mm. Up to ‘73 I think they were 27mm. Went and...

Hoyhoy. I'm thinking more towards engine or gearbox mounts, that won't come up any error codes. Plugs or coil pack should show up with error...

he said 27mm in the video I think

Cover removed. Now for the wheel. Unfortunately I don’t have a socket that big, for the central nut. Nor can I measure it, way down inside that...

Plastic wheel cover with tiny coil spring ‘towers’ visible in each corner of the cover.

Thanks. The YouTube vid gave me enough of a clue to work it out. Each corner of the four ‘spokes’ on the plastic cover is suspended on a short coil...

looks similar to yours......check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDE83lAa7is

Hoyhoy. I can't help with that one, it would be good if Guy Harding hopped on to help, he had VW wrecking yards @ one time & is the sponsor of...

Hoyhoy. Looks like ya having fun @ least.

That left heater transfer duct wouldn’t come out. It won’t slide forward or aft far enough to clear the other end. Do I need to release the rear...

I’ll replace the floor pan sections under the front seats. A bit rusted out.

I don’t know why my photos are sideways. Anyway the interior is ready for cleanup. I feel like rotating the body 90 degrees on one of those...

Off to the tip. (The pile of carpet and stuff)
