Hi all!
Recently purchased a BBM 8v GTI project, planning to strip it down over the coming months and fire the welder up! Long term plans are 20v T set up but body will be the first priority. Will start a thread to keep everyone updated on the journey, hope to meet some awesome people along the way!!
Cheers, Kane.
Hi Kane and welcome:)
Look forward to the thread.
If your SW we have a Bristol meet 1st Friday of the month at Toby Carvey, almondsbury (I think!).
We have plenty of Club stands at shows over the UK and we have a Club National meet at Curborough Sprint Couse in July.
Welcome to the forum Kane.
Welcome along Kane!
I also have a BBM in the south west, where abouts are you?
Ah nice!
I’m on Portland.

Hiya! I'm a new member! I'm in Gloucestershire, I bought my 89 GTi from a lovely couple in Leeds so I guess that's one more in the SW!

Was rebuilt in 2010, been collecting parts for a v5 conversion since then but A piller rot and few other places has taken it off the road.

Nice! Do you have any plans for yours...what colour is it?
She's blue, currently she’s running pretty badly. I’ve got her with a VW specialist who is going to sort her out, he's got a service kit coming for her, apparently the distributor cap and rotor arm are knackered (so have some Bosch bits on their way) maybe a clutch issue...hopefully getting her back this week and maybe be at caffeine & machine on Thursday all being well, if not Blackthorn show on Sunday!

@Clomojo there's North Bristol meet this Friday. There are a fair few of us along the M5 stretch between Bristol and Gloucester that attend every month, Thornbury, Dursley, Stroud, Quedgeley etc.
