Message sent if its still available let me know. Cheers Rich

Lol its good to know im not alone in my struggle and the reassurance that treatment is available via an approved bottle delivery system is easing my pain. ;)

I have been a member for a while but realised i have not put a post in here to say hello. The bug is too well developed now. I think i must be approaching the 50th that i have owned and i had 7 at one point so definatly beyond help. I have a 1974 S3 rebuilt on a galv chassis with a tdi...

To answer why convert and not buy well this one has a galv chassis and has been rebuilt so its just a simple engine swap rather than all the other jobs you will get with a new project.

Thanks for the replys i have a conversion adapter and mounts now so just waiting for the time and warmer weather.

Hi long shot but do you still have the diffs? cheers rich

Fed up with the noisey 200tdi and want a V8 but cant find any second hand conversion kits any ideas or where to get a new kit?

Can you tell me how short it is as I have an 80" v8 running a series box that I would like to replace with a better setup.

So the entire body is all made from box and tube so I will be keeping the hint of a S1 look it has for now. I have always wanted a S1 v8 though so I will keep searching!

Ok thanks I'll have a look at that tomorrow

Forward gears appear ok but it has a grinding noise. Have not tried it in neutral but all the linkage moves freely now. I have found a good used box so that will get fitted and ill strip this one out to see what has gone!

Lol no and I was glad it was not one as its a crime to cut them about now!

Firstly don't worry it's not a S1 that someone has cut up. Only the doors and bonnet appear to be S1 the rest has been fabricated by someone! Just finished off getting it running and now the gearbox looks like it will have to come out again! As it will only move about a foot before it locks...

Hi thanks for the reply. It running the same front and back and the box was removed to do a clutch. I have not driven it more than 20m so don't think is wound up and that was in 2wd. I'm thinking it's going to want a rebuild so ill start looking for a spare gearbox to fit. If anyone has one...

Hi i have a series 3 gearbox in my 80" hybrid. I finally got the engine running after buying it as a non runner project and now the gearbox will only move in reverse about a foot before it locks up! Going forward is better but it's not making happy noises so before i strip it any ideas what to...
