it's a series 3 chaps, I can't see any S2 stuff on it

It's just my lack of knowledge

I must do better....

How much have you stripped off it?

Check out the mig welding forum, retrorides too for forums with projects. SOUP classic motoring on you tube is well worth watching. I'm sure you can get a Webber to give gains on a standard port 12a if you know what your doing, I don't so can't really comment much. But as James mentioned they are he...

Your advise is needed... badly. Rust and welding is the one thing I don’t have any skills with. Can anyone... in your honest opinion say it’s worth welding up and in your experiences what restoration shops would try and skin me for? Hi Craig and welcome! We all love Fb's around here so are biased r...

Any word on the wings? I sent a on...

Very nice, can't help with the sale as I've got a s3... But a thread on the car would be of interest

Lovely looking car!

No doubt, this was designed to allow the oil to actually reach operating temperature. However, it adds an additional heat load on the coolant within the engine itself. So it's the opposite to a cooler then and designed for emissions presumably ? Is there a simple way to junk it? I know it's conside...
