Not as exoctic as some but keeps the daily commute interesting, the missus drives the Audi %.%
Used to have Alfas and was restoring an old Porsche but the finances ran out and had to sell it.
My son would love some 60's american iron, that will have to wait.

The STI was a chrissy present, so far i've avoided too much scrutiny from the boys in blue %.%
But time will tell.

Karmann Update !

Motor finished

Used Nifti and Novus 2... just joking  !^!

The motor was completely rebuilt and we need to take the car to the mechanics so he can fit it, roadtest and roadworthy.



and the engine bay is repainted ;




Next picture will be of the car finished and on the road. First time since 1975 !

I'm tipping something to do with cooling ducting, as I think those VWs were all air cooled motors same as combi's
