Hi, Totally clutching at straws as I have no idea on the set up of these cars. But I'm wondering if it's an auto choke with some kind temp control such as a wax stat or bi-metallic strip to adjust the fueling once warm. It certainly sounds like it's an issue as the temp rises and the car needs to co...

Looks like another good purchase, I'm surprised how good these cars still look some 30+ years since launch. As I mentioned on another post, I had 2 Mk2's and quite fancy getting another one before the values go mad! I've watched the prices climb over the past few years. My other one I've had for ju...

small progress but at least it's progress.. http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i61/eddypeck/BMWe30/2015-07-04%2014.54.18_zpsyzykwsl0.jpg Prop, diff and half shafts are all back in situ but not fully bolted up yet, fresh oil in the diff. Suspension and brake lines all connected up ready for bleeding. ...

The car in the advert Rich posted has John's initials (and age) on it's plate. It's a smart looking golf. You have two already, how long before you have fore (sorry, i'll get my coat) Well I'm not sure about 'fore' .... but I've certainly got a hole in one :oops: http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i...

Cheers!

thanks, I'll take that into account in future

And here's my latest. http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i61/eddypeck/GolfGti/One_In_Ten_Million/DSC_0041_zps3zk2qflq.jpg Bought a couple of months ago and patiently waiting its turn for some attention. Last on the road in 2007, it's a limited edition campaign model, launched in the summer of 1988 to...

So if you've seen my BMW post. This is my other one, I bought it in June 2013 and it's been an ongoing rolling project since. I'll try and summarise. Bought for £500 in not the best of conditions, but with a full 12 months MOT and all original. Which means a good honest car, all be it a tiered one. ...

Time to show some of my projects I think, not as classic as many on here but I hope they'll be appreciated all the same. First one, my Wife's BMW http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i61/eddypeck/BMWe30/_57_zpsff9d335e.jpg Not intended to be a project as we paid a lot for it as a tidy example, but stil...

Amazing work, well done and best of luck with your venture. Although it looks like you'll have no worries, the quality speaks volumes.
