New member, long-term owner

Hi, thanks for having me here.

I'm in the process of restoring a 1990 3dr Mk2 GTI in Tornado Red.  Bought it about 10 years ago and off the road for about 7 years.  Trying to do a very faithful restoration, working with two talented young race engineers who've started a business called Inspire Engineering.  Back story here:

I'm here mainly for advice and also help sourcing the umpteen different discontinued parts I need to get it back to its best.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

John
