So following a great weekend at RHB co-driving for Phil (Green series II) I found myself leafing through Ebay on Monday afternoon and came across a vintage (1985) 90 hard-top with a 200 TDI conversion and to cut a long story short, by 10:30 that evening it was on my drive and I my wallet was £1,800 lighter
It's off the road at the moment and it'll be going in my garage this weekend (assuming I can get the new kitchen that's stacked-up in there moved elsewhere) for a thorough strip down and fettle. My aim is to build it back up in a fairly standard way initially, only replacing parts that are knackered, do some events and then look to add some goodies as the need arises (and the wallet allows).
I'd be interested in any opinions of what folks consider as the 'essential' upgrades for competing, mainly in the area of protecting the vehicle and also if anyone happens to have some of said 'essentials' taking up valuable space in their garage and want rid of them
I'll post a couple of photo's this weekend and also as the project goes on.
