Yes, as a callow youth, I fell for that one while on secondment to the toolroom guys - IIRC the stores kept me there for over an hour, but now, the WAIT is over...
It's time to get back on to the full restoration of my 1981 S3 n/a.
I'll be starting a blog and hassling many of you for hints and advice, but so far thanks to Slewthy, Buddsy, Andyclements and Hilly among others for the quality documenting of their own experiences - I reckon you've saved me 50 hours and about £100 already (so full membership on its way ) & I haven't started yet.
The avatar pic was taken c.2002 on Dad's ramp, only sig.diff. to date is the removal of the aftermarket gutter pipe, but we have a PLAN!
The Plan:
go from where we are now to road ready status by September this year, starting with engine out, tanks/fuel lines checked, brakes, clutch etc re-hosed, and then see how much of the anticipated advice falls within budget.
Thanks in advance
Dave
