Introduce yourself

[GTXTRA]

Hello!

My name is Mike and I've just bought Paul's (D-Reame) '98 Helios blue GTX!

Those of you who have seen it will agree its one of the best out there, so huge credit to Paul for the work he's done on getting it to such great condition.



I'm not new to VW's as I've owned 3 Air-cooled models (1x 1200 '72 Beetle, 2x type 3's. also an '84 Scirocco CL and a couple of MK5 golf's) I still have one of my Type 3's a 1972 Variant that I'm slowly getting back onto the road.

I hope to keep it in the excellent condition it's in and bring it to a few shows, BVF is a favorite of ours so it'll probably be there.

Hope to see and speak to you all soon.

welcome indeed Mikey - you have a superb car there, and they're my old wheels too bought new at GTI International 1990, tyres were all new in summer 2006 and have done less than 10k even allowing for their time with Edmundator.

Welcome Mike, I've seen the car and yes it is a beauty you have yourself.

Cheers chaps! I'm going to carry on the good work Paul did and hope to bring it to a few shows though the summer.

Afternoon all,
I'm James, long-suffering casual mechanic to a close friend, also named James (keeps things simple)...
We're shopping for a late scirocco injection at the moment and I always find being a forum member helpful so to everybody!

Hi all,

Great to be here.

How are we all? Hope we are well!

I have a big hankering for a Havanna Storm, My ultimate Rocco.

I fondly remember the Alpine White 1985 C Rocco GTS that my dad had between 88-89, it was a real go-er!!

Nice to meet you all friends, im going to be an active regular here!!

Kind Regards

Russell.

Hi

just though I'd introduce myself. I have just bought a GTII in white and am collecting it tomorrow so I am after hints and tips as to good mods to do to it. Its bog standard and done 132k so whats the best thing to do.

I am planning the cambelt and a major service and a good freshen up first.

[Funky Diver]

Exactly that.. enjoy it for a bit and read loads, lol. Probably not the advice you're after, but there's LOTS you can do so sure it's gonna be down to you in the end.

Welcome to the site!!

[duncancallum]

Im not shy of working on them, its just I have 3 Minis in bits as well.


looking forward to getting it
