I'm getting this problem too - it wont let me read the 2nd page of PMs (I didn't know I had 48 either...?)

anything to avoid jacking up a car is a good thing in my books

I found it was easy putting the linkage together except for aligning the spline to get the full range.

I discovered that if you put it into reverse or 5th, then set up the spline, all other selections find themselves. easy.

thats looking great - love those typ 5 wheels on a mk1

its gone!
Its needed paint really since i bought it, but its just dying for it now, and i just dont have the resources to do it so its gone to a chap not far from here that i met at Beaulieu Simply VW show. Hes planning to strip it back and have the paint done. should turn out nice!

pretty sad to ...

I'm sure he'll be on here before long. If he restores it to any standard like his golf then it'll turn out very nice, hopefully he wont mind me sharing his thread. http://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/forum/index.php?page=topicview&id=projects%2Fyour-mk1-golfs_2%2Fmk1-golf-restoration_2
I would have loved to ...

verrrry nice work dude. really like those seats

Sold to the right person, hes going to be doing a full restore and its local so I'm sure I'll see it again!

If golfs weren't fetching such high wedge i probably would do just that!

Would love a nice series 1. not red though. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... GB&alt=web

Soooooo a replacement metering head has seen the engine run and idle! I've found a good local mechanic who normally works on aircooled stuff and restores some rather rusty lookin campers to....well...rusty looking campers!

Just from what I've looked up it would seem that 3D printing at the moment is still mostly only good for prototyping. Lots of stuff comes into play like how the plastic used reacts to UV light and water, heat and involves a lot of trial and error.

I think companies like Heritage etc are missing a ...

Well its seems like I'm right on the cusp of having my 16v fire into life, but no cigar as of yet!

The engine cranks, but doesn't fire. Turn it once, then stop, then turn it again and it will pop so I know there's at least little fuel.

I'm basically a complete norn, so I'm wondering if someone can ...

Wow its been a while since Ive been on here! The guys who were to get the rocco MOT'd and running basically did nothing for a few months, so I took the car back after a few frank discussions.

The controls and lighting are all okay - the engine turns over, but I think the timing is so out its not ...
