Yeah but it will be bloody clean even when it's raining

To be fair everyone was trying to rip my arm off to get the keys lol... Yeah with the amount of help I've been offered on the forum & with Gary potentially giving up his Sunday already for me, it has concreted my decision to stick with it... Much appreciated mate I'm sure I'll be taking advantage of that offer very soon

I have done the same numbers twice because if you actually won I would be of the mind set of murder to get it back

Ben your a gent, thank you for the offer and worst case if I can't find anyone and with Gary's kind offer to help I can't manage to get done locally it will be coming for a slow drive over to see ya Also of course I trust it after it got me home Sunday lol... I do have your lottery ticket here I dated it for Euro millions Friday 6th at the next blue water meet

Gary, Don't worry I am in no mind to sell up fast or do anything drastic and to be honest i was just seeing if everyone on here agrees with my opinion, keep and put the effort into mine which so far everyone has agreed I also much appreciate the offer to help and already have the text on my phone written out to send to you on beg of help with the offer of a few bluewater dinners on me

To be honest engine wise I'm not that clued up on and unfortunately I haven't really got the room to get myself tucked into learning, as much as I would love too and the more I read the forum of peoples efforts the more I would love to rip it apart myself but space, knowledge and tools are extremely limited so it would worry me that I would start and not being able to complete

It's a J-Spec TT6 not a UK but as far as I can find these are still pretty rare and can only go one way on there values. The shell as far as I can see and find is pretty sound a few knocks and bumps and there but nothing major the main reason he is saying this is although the previous owner has passed on 14 years worth of history totally around 11k the car is still very tired and a very quick list brings up that it needs: Full engine rebuild New clutch & Gearbox seals refurb as there is a small leak from the box New suspension it has UK brakes but there are desperate for a full refurb, new disks & pads the interior is extremely tired but I have already purchased black carpet and full dash surrounds from keron just need manual surround needed. That's just a quick list... So what he is saying as mine stands its worth 5-6k so adding 3-4k I could get a facelift less tired model that wouldn't need me throwing 8-10k at it to get to that same point...

Right in a bit of a dilemma on what to do... I purchased a TT6 pre-facelift in September ridiculously cheap but with the mind set that it's in need of a lot of love and attention. Since buying I've enjoyed a few outings but unfortunately as a couple of people know on the way to Crawley breakfast meet the poor beauty decided to throw up it's coolant and leave me on the side of the motorway [ANGRY][/ANGRY] after a fellow club members assistance we got it to the meet, I filled it with water and nursed it home. Amazingly no stopping on the way and it has held all the water in the rad and expansion bottle (I used NO boost on drive home around 60 miles) So into the workshop at work and one of the Tech's also a fellow club member and does know his stuff has had a good look around but can't find where the coolant came from or find any issues but said being brutally honest he wouldn't use mine as base car to start on? he said if it was him he advise me to sell it add a couple of grand and replace with a better one?? I'm in two minds one because I do see his point and mine does need everything from ground up but at least I will then know everything about it and know I can trust it, plus it's already got the 6 Speed box which these seem to be rocking horse ..... to buy without converting. What would everyone on here advice?

Was great meet this morning and nice to meet some new faces, things couldn't get any better then a steak breakfast!! The extra good news is I actually made it home without having to stop every few miles to add more water

Spoke too bloody soon as I'm 5 mins away sitting in the side of the road with smoke flooding from the engine bay!!! The joys of old cars...

I'm looking forward to my steak & egg brekkie

So that will be you then yeah

& to be taken for a little spin in what sounds like is going to be a monster ;-) (Did the Mrs kill you much on the drive home after her sitting in the car for ages ) Was good to meet a few more people last night, maybe over the year I'll know all faces to forum members lol...

I might have to b trying this peanut butter milkshake this time

Welcome to the forum mate, car sounds lovely and look forward to seeing you at a bluewater soon

^^^ with some goodies

Really gutted as can't make this month Reminder for all traveling over the bridge next week, pre-pay the crossing as this is the last weekend of the booths with price increase to a rip off £2.50!!!!

Don't get me wrong I no more or less nothing about cam pulleys, but from what I've read and been looking around the forum the picture looks to be the actual HKS picture?? which is then kinda confirmed further into the description with this statement 'THE PULLEYS WILL BE BLUE NOT PURPLE AS SHOWN' So your not actually going to receive the same one's as in the picture? but then again the guy has nearly 73k positive feedback so he can't be selling poor quality stuff.

^^^ Your killing me Gary lol... I might have this off ya? not actually sure if mine has already been done or not! (IGNORE AS OP HAS ALREADY AGREED TO HAVE) This might sound like a very silly question as I know what its for and what it does but what improvement will it give me if any at this stage?

Looking at all these wheels the TRD looks the best by far but I couldn't justify it's price tag... I've just purchased a OMP wheel from 'supraleeturbo' which I'm very much looking forward to getting and fitting as I've got some horrible momo wood one at the mo... I'll upload some pics when get a moment!
