The mk3 Golf synchro was 2.9l. Very few sold though so not well known.

XL Leather colouring kit, small repair kit and care kit ordered from Furniture Clinic today, woop woop! Need to send up my headrest for colour match Monday but they say it should all be sent out within 24 hours of receiving it so hopefully with me by next weekend. Wiring and pipes all disconnected from the bay now so just exhaust and driveshafts tomorrow then it will be out. Pics to follow tomorrow.

No they are correct, factory option heated leather mate.

Leather too, bargain for what you paid Craig! Yeah I'd certainly be up for another local meet, I too missed the last one. Not too soon though as I'm off the road for probably another 5 weeks. :(

Well on one side it's a puppy so will be bought up with the kids, and I've not heard what has happened with the new born though. Has it been said the baby was mauled? It could be that the baby was smothered which is not unheard of, yet no less tragic obviously.

Yes mate. Saw it last night actually which was a bit spooky. We've had a talk about it but not come to a decision yet. It could happen with any dog tbf but the breed are known to be very good with children generally. Still puts a big doubt in our mind though with a 10 month old son. We'll give it some more thought before paying out any more though, as at the moment it's only £100 we will have lost which is not the end of the world.

I'm in Fareham, Hants........oh yeah it's on the right.

At least it's gone to a good home. Onward and upward!

Yeah I have Chris. I ordered a couple of parts from there a while back and although they were happy to sell to me there was barely any discount over dealer rrp, and I get decent discount from the dealer anyway. I'll go back and try to set up a trade account now I'm "car club manager" though, so hopefully they'll be good to me!

Ordered a few bits today. New rad, oil cooler and seals, water pump, inlet manifold gaskets, and drive belt. That'll do for now, although the list will grow once its out and inspected on Saturday. Obviously service items regardless but I'll wait til I know everything else before having my pants pulled down from VW. Gonna pop in and see the powdercoater that Martin (VR6South) suggested as well if I have time this weekend. Got no further on with it yet, although I'll be in tomorrow and Thursday lunchtime to finish labelling, disconnect driveshafts and exhaust, then its just a couple of bolts holding it in! Should have a decent picture update once its out.

Thanks Chris. I'll do it like you did then mate. Makes sense with ease of getting it out actually.:thumbleft:

No it doesnt. Tried just before xmas and ended up having to scrap the original and put the new one straight on. Shame really as all it needed was paint.

About the cost of a set of wheels! :lol:

No. Can't afford non essential items. Missus has just paid a deposit for a bloody Malamute puppy now!

:rofl: I absolutely know where your coming from mate! :lol:

Chris, how were the manifold bolts to remove? Mine should be coming out the weekend hopefully, but I'm panicking about shearing a bolt and having an utter nightmare!

Oooh! Its your car I've been trying (and failing) to use as inspiration for mine!!! I love this, frikkin awsome! :thumbleft:

Evening chaps, got an email back from the company linked above, they say the suppliers of them are behr (which I know are part of hella) and AKG. Anyone ever heard of AKG? They say they are also a supplier for behr, just never heard of them so am trying ensure I get quality. Thanks!

Welcome Craig, look forward to seeing some pics of a real bargain there!

Yeah fair enough, I just saw them whilst I was compiling my list of parts and remembered fuzzer saying £150 for a set. Thought I'd throw these in the mix at less than half the price quoted was all. :thumbleft:

Welcome! Get some pics up of yours, good to see new members cars. :thumbleft: As for your questions, I'm not entirely sure about the amount of Nugget G60s tbh. I think there are probably more than 300 G60s left though. Quite a few on here, club GTI and Edition38 as well. There are also a few 16v G60s knocking about. Most have used the KR as a base I believe, although I think there may be a couple using the ABF too. Its already a limited market with these cars, and they are at rock bottom pretty much price wise. You wouldn't de-value the car by doing it, but your pretty unlikely to see the money back it would cost you to do the conversion.

Febi ones from VW Spares (AVS) - £5.94 incl VAT ea. Just over 70 quid for a full set is a good price if you ask me. Decent brand and AVS are a good company to deal with.

Dave16v supplies them Rob. Have a look in the suppliers forum, he's got a thread on there for the practically the whole front end.

Have a look in the wiki section on the chain replacement guide Rog, should give you most of the information you need from there mate.

Very nice indeed! 964 Turbo is on my top 5 list! Absolutely one of the best looking cars ever made imo!
