Sounds like my old mk3. I didnt have much luck with it when I 1st bought it either .
Never mind mate, chun up!

[Guy88]

Well since the timing belt she has been running a dream. does 85 flat out but will rev to 5000rpm

Made up a lighr bar for the roof not sure about the ends thou. they may look better when its polished and the welds are ground down. I will be doing this tomorrow. if i dont like it il cut them off.

What do you think


Cant see them too well but they are about 5 inches long that run 90* off the bar

Also got the CB in


Was going to fit it in the cubby box under the radio but it didn't fit
