Hi from a newbie :-)

['Rado 0]

Just bought my Fiance a G60 'rado 8)

108k miles, FSH in Pearl green

Needs a charger rebuild (not iminent but factored it in the purchase price) - new fogs and headlight lenses which should be here tomorrow.

After reading and then experiencing the comedy headlights and wipers yesterday these will be undergoing some attention shortly - how VW ever let a car go on sale with these ill never know

Here she is:-

Hello and welcome, good choice! What are those wheels?

[chubbybrown 0]

thats a crackng looking motor

welcome to the forum :mrgreen:

The wheels are ACE 17" something or other - i wasnt really looking for a car that had been modified but this one happened to come along at a decent price and local to boot.

Car has been lowered with Gmax springs and shocks - the ride is quite respectable - just need to get the blower sorted as it feels a bit sluggish - currently in talks with Darren about this :lol:

If you're free next Sunday come down to the monthly meet, it will be posted in the Events early next week - usually a good turn out - I'll certainly be there as will John from JMR

Rado lookin very nice mate 8) where did you get the h/light lenses from and how much ?

['Rado 0]

Hi Mate,

 

The lenses are from Eurocarparts - £25 each side + the dreaded Vodka & Tonic - Genuine too 8)

Still on the lookout for a set of Fogs but they come up on Ebay quite regularly.

Also on the lookout for another set of rims but thats all for later - getting Darren at G werks to refurb thew charger on the 8th so funds are a bit tight :lol:

Well ive got new headlamp lenses and platinum plugs today - hopefully the upgraded headlight loom will be here tomorrow and its booked in with Darren of G-werks on the 8th Nov to get the charger overhauled (only pulling about 9psi boost with a chip & pulley).

Just got to sort the wipers then :wink:

Just got to sort a poor cold starting prob and then time to sit back and enjoy :lol:

Thanks for the welcome chaps 8)
