Interesting...What would you want for it if you sell dude? I have said it may be Golf time this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 im not sure, ive been offered that red one Further up if he sells, (1.9TDI) but who's to say I wont get similar problems to mine once I own it. so I don't know.was a bit upset about it all last night, but we will see how things go, as i planned to run this for another year and then Re-shell and 02A gear box convert(better gearbox)so we will see how it goes, as it stands, I need, 2 drive-shafts, to FIT my tank straps, Replace a brake line and possibly rebuild rear brakes. if any one wants to Donate driveshafts,(90mm flanges) or tools to make copper brake lines I will be eternally grateful aha.

Rich Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 The red one is solid, that's a plus point.However I'd always pick the GTD over it.That's not a lot of work on your list tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 yeah i know, but i don't know what's going to go next! Might buy some Ebay CV's, £17 ea new ahah brake lines are £35 for the kit so we will see. one drum was rebuilt in the past 4 years so should come off easy and be relatively serviceable. but the other is unknown..
