Awesome.

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Cheers guys  :cool:

Sooooo, 7 long months later ............ I've actually driven it  :shocked: :D :D

Goes pretty well, I'd forgotten how good they sound!!! Needs tuning up properly and lots of little bits doing, but hopefully taxed, insured and driving on Monday :)

Back on its wheels for the first time in ages; I'll get a video up soon

Don't know about that, my 7 years off road certainly felt like, erm, 7 years.  :grin: Funnily enough, it's been off for 7 months this time too.

Cheers guys, plenty to be getting on with over time, but just wanting to get driving it now :grin:

Been redoing the brakes this evening as still not happy with them and also seen a tornado red genuine front bumper for sale fairly locally so think I'll get that to save painting the non-gen one I just bought (bugger :( ). Vid below, apologies for poor sound, phone..

edit; sorry, don't know how to link vid so it plays without going to photobucket..
