    Crossovers

    I have a crossover, which I love dearly [emoji177] I’m on the early and late forums and have found both to be great places to be - super helpful, advice given freely, often a member has a random part tucked away that you need. Join both and enjoy the ride! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Earlybay Timewasters on eBay!

    I had the reverse on ebay as a buyer. 'Bought' a 205gti for above its reserve, couldn't get hold of the guy via ebay messages, ebay wouldn't share his number or do anything unless I'd paid in full by Paypal. Like I'm gonna pay in full from 250 miles away! There probably wasn't even a real car...

    VW mechanic up North

    Not sure if he's on EarlyBay, but Paul Weeding on the late bay forum does a lot with engines, he's somewhere South of Edinburgh, Berwick perhaps? I've never used him myself mind you.

    Progress Pics - Dormobile X-Over

    I have just read through this again. I know how you feel, but take a break if you can and finish it when your mojo comes back :party0046: I took a ten year hiatus, but even though I only got finished last year, the good times we've had since are priceless :D :D...

    Late steering box vs. Rack conversion...

    OK, my steering box is not the best. It was stripped, lubricated and re-assembled a while ago and I know there is damage on the worm/peg that isn't going to heal up! It's fine at the moment, but in the long term I will most likely need a solution. So my question is do I... - Spend £995 on a...
