Title: Newbie, Midlands, MkIII 16v ...
Post by: simc66 on 30 August 2010, 22:45: Hi folks, I've just bought a new daily driver / project, I wanted something fairly entertaining so having a Beetle and a Bus already another VW seemed the obvious idea, I'll probably be asking some fairly clueless questions soon as I'm not as familiar with this water-cooled malarkey :wink:

Post by: simc66 on 08 November 2010, 09:18: Thanks for the welcome, meant to reply ages ago and forgot!

I'm out in the sticks, nearest town is Rugby.

Haven't done much to the 16v yet, just general servicing stuff. The rust patches are next ...!

Post by: MissGTI on 08 November 2010, 19:30: Hello and welcome, mines completley standard with the origional door rust !!!!!
Title: Re: Newbie, Midlands, MkIII 16v ...
Post by: simc66 on 09 November 2010, 23:17: Yep, door rust, rear wheel arch rust and tailgate-round-the-wiper-arm rust!

The first two are easily sorted but the last one is probably easier sorted with a new tailgate, so if there's anyone with a spare Brilliant Black 'gate out there :)
