New member south west

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.

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.

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!

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.
