Looks good, love the green!

Amazing what a difference just putting lights and grill back on makes! Looks excellent.

That's a shame its good fun looking around that kind of thing!

Hi Chris. If you want simplicity and lack of electrics I'd agree with a 200 or 300 TDI! :welcome2:

Hi Steve and welcome. I'm from Sudbury so not far from you!

Nasty looking critter! What WW2 stuff did you find?

You could replace the sills with box section, cheaper and easier.

Hope you guys have a fun trip and the Disco behaves itself! look forward to seeing pics of the adventure:)

Thanks hifly. That's a good site, lots of useful info.

I've got a nice stash of new rapeseed oil which I'm hoping to save for the winter. I've read its supposed to cope with colder temperatures better than other veg oils. Did you mix a bit of diesel into the oil winter time to thin it a bit?

Welcome from over the border :welcome2:

I'm definitely gonna watch with interest, I quite fancy getting one myself.

It wasn't a kit as such I just bought bits to copy my mates fancy pants German kit. I got a heat exchanger, 2 solenoids and all the coolant hoses etc and fitted it the same as my mates and it works well. Don't notice any difference when running on oil apart from the old 200 TDI is a bit...

I'm jealous, that looks great! Be interested to see what you do with it.

Had a quick measure up of my terminally rusted front bumper. Thinking about making a nice new tubular one!
