So yesterday I took delivery of my drivable project. Named Wendy by my partner.
As said in my introductory post she's a 1981 2.25 petrol. Ive taken her for a couple of short adventures already. To the beach with aforementioned partner yesterday, and poped out for a surf with some mates this morning. She even kept up with a friends 300tdi 90 (for like ten seconds down hill with a tail wind)
Ive laid her up at home for a week or two while I sort out some little niggles (blowing exhaust, bearings in gearbox and some new instrument/sidelight bulbs) I have the advantage of another car for work based, none fun driving. Im looking forward to posting some pics of the ongoing maintenance, renovation and enjoyment of the old girl. Blow are a couple of pics from the first weekend of ownership shakedown.
