New member south west February 08, 2024, 11:08:00 AM 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.

Re: New member south west Reply #12 – August 25, 2024, 08:07:11 PM 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!
