Re: Cnc297t
Thanks i would like to think it was soon ! just been through paper work and i purchased the car november 88 ran it till 96 and it has been in garage ever since i think it will be a total rebuild because it looking very shabby inside but it has been done before
Re: Cnc297t
Welcome to the forum and good luck with the rebuild
Re: Cnc297t
Welcome to the forum.
Your story is very similar to my own, I built my MK 2 in 89 and drove it for a few years, but family commitments amongst other things forced me to put the car into retirement, but now I'm in a position to try and get the car back on the road again. Also I'm a newbie to this forum and found the members very friendly and helpful.
Good luck with the rebuild.

Re: Cnc297t
It seems I'm doing things the wrong way around as I did the family thing then bought my Midas. Now it's nearing completion and trust me I'm not sure who's more excited to be in the thing me or my daughter
