Gunter in semi retirement

[gtimk5]

This has been my competition ride and parts delivery/pickup car for over 6 years. Currently in semi retirement mode and the birds in my shed love it!!

nice, what power u runnin

[gtimk5]

I originally had a 1.8 twin cam, then went a 9a 2 litre tc. sold the motor. Golfwise lent me a 5 speed with a quaife dif which I rebuilt. I have returned that so at the moment it's Fred Flinstone power=nil!
To continue road rallies I have to go back to single cam 1.8

dont you just love it when birds move into your shed!!!!what happened to the days of building nests in trees??
but by the mess they have made u must have a whole family of wedge tailed eagles in there!!!!!

[gtimk5]

Got a few wedgies that live close by, they are awesome things. Circle overhead till they find their prey, then swoop down and nab them! The pony is too big for em though!
The wife sealed up all the gaps around the shed but the starlings still get in there. When I went up there yesterday arvo looking for a pump for you 86gti, there were about 15 of the buggers in there doing their business!!!:D

so when is gunter going to be saved? :D build a hot 1.8 on twins!!!

[gtimk5]

Got my daughters Cabrio (with its new inner and outer roofs!) to paint before November. Got a 66 beetle to restore before the Bug in next easter, Sandown weekend in August, Robbie Williams with the daughter in Dec. Oh, and work in between too! Would like to get Gunter up and running before next easter. Won't be doing anymore circuit racing, too political and it gets very boring running around the same bit of road all the time, (this is where I brake, this is where I turn stuff!) It will happen someday!!! Cheers, Andrew :)
