Hello all,
I just purchased my first watercooled VW a 1.6L 99 Golf which i didn't buy it for the power obviously lol. My previous cars include a few single/twin turbo Subarus, Bmw, turbo Mazda and this was my favorite.....

A VW type 3 which me and my brother built up from the shell.

At the moment we are building a 58 bug and for power a Subaru Brumby with a wrx driveline. Would love another type 3 but they are just getting so hard to find.

Ok moving on, the Golf will be getting a few mods(mostly cosmetic and stereo) to make it a nice daily. When i lower it in the next few days i put some pictures up, at the moment it just looks like a stock Gold/Yellow golf.

Sorry for the long intro
Cheers

Welcome aboard Steven. They type 3 would have to be my favorite air cooled. The brumby sounds interesting to. I remember seeing one with a WRX motor in it years ago doing 4 wheel burnouts at a burnout comp. Pretty impressive!
