Hello and welcome

[synXero]

Welcome bud. Guy called Jimi in Glenrothes with the nicest mk1 you have ever seen haha, master at all things electrical. Fimmo as well in Kirkcaldy!

WTTC!

I think your're well enough placed if you're from the Kingdom / Central belt. There seems to be plenty MK1's and 2's around there.

Post up some pics when you can. If you only got it for £500 then that's allot of car for the money if it's only the HG gone, Make sure you get it all checked and do everything as a precaution, not like it cost you much so far anyway.

All the best,

Rich

[Gullzter]

Hi Russel, welcome.

Im a noob here myself, from Glasgow, and just got my new rev 5 Tubby yesterday

[Russellg86]

Yeah need more posts to put my pics up so will start a build thread when I can

[TheBaker]

Always wanted one but doubt it due to running costs, more eager just to get back in a 2 though, NA or Turbo!!

Take it your project is gonna be over the long term?

Can't wait to see pics!

Cheers.

[Russellg86]
