Nice blankets

Nice blankets

You can't beat a "high quality" picnic blanket! They are actually there to project the items on the car rather than the paint!

Retro tartan continuing the early mk1 style no doubt

You think you,ll respray at some point?

Yeah defo full respray in the future, likely next winter, will run "rat look" whatever that is this year!

[Bonusrocco]

Who cares about rust patches when your wheels make pimps blush heh heh. I'm hoping to gather the funds for a respray one day, who knows what will happen. I quite like the 70's colours, youre in good position what with it being an early it'll keep the era theme

HA HA cheers,

Checked with VW Heritage today and the gasket still hasn't left Germany, but should be with me next week, so no Bank Holiday rebuilding!

In other news my endless wheel whoring continues with something most of you will hate, picked what we think are Enkei Jap wheels, 17 x7" 4x100 fitment. Picked these up from a guy who imports and breaks JDM cars so not many of these around in the UK, be good to see what they sit like rather than the 8" Eta Betas I tried - those are now destined for my Corrado as summer wheels.





They are filthy in the pics, I'll get them cleaned up and source some tyres to see what they look like on...

So... more wheels then? I reckon you could shod a Glasgow/ Euston Service with what you have.

Wow!! I'm loving them! They kick ass, hod rod stylee
If you change your mind ( or the guy you know has something similar) about putting them on the rocco let me know, as i'm after something funky for my mk2 jetta!

[G60MAT]

Spoke to VW Heritage again on Friday and the gasket has still NOT left Germany, for the love of god I hope it comes this week...

[Vonlard]

Those wheels remInd me of Boyd tri-fans, only problem will be one side will point forward and the other back Like RS Turbos. never really got why companys don't make them in both directions

x2 - I coudn't have wheels like that...

[G60MAT]

Cheers lads...

Well it should have taken 3 weeks, its actually taken 5 weeks and a day, but the gasket has finally arrived!
Plan now to fit this Sat hopefully and see if this Rocco actually runs!

[G60MAT]

As the weather is so great, decided to dig the Rocco out of the garage, my old Audi interior got collected yesterday so plenty of room back...





Carb is now away being rebuilt with the new gasket and plan to refit this weekend...

[Bonusrocco]

All the best with it - carb mounts are fiddly!! Will be cracking to get it on the road though mate

[G60MAT]

Well the carb is back, all cleaned up looks like it was sticking somewhat on the acceleration pump, bolted it back on and followed the photos that all is back on in the right order. Fired up the car and its clear there is now no spark...

Now plan to go back to basics tomorrow and borrow an avometer to check everything out...
