Travelling to Tring from Wakefield early am - with exams that I've not finished marking :-(
Hopefully it'll be OK - I'll give it a thorough check-over and then make the trip back, with a card from Mr RAC if needed as I've got relay service.

Collecting the Samba convertible tomorrow

Good luck fella. And may the sun shine on you righteously.
Thanks Carl,
The car *should* be OK as it passed an MOT in Feb but I'll check anyway. I found a good site that looks at Pug 104's and it's got a detailed guide.
E.g. did you know that the 205 was actually a re-bodied 104 on the same chassis? I wonder if the 1.9 GTi engine would fit?
David
Someone on here had one converted i think, or maybe an engine similar and planned a gti transplant
Wasn't it a 305 with a 1.9 8v from a 405 in it? Or something heh.
Similar engine and ropey old pug, i was correct :D
An MOT doesn't mean an awful lot in Wakefield area.
Like the thinking.

Some would argue that a truckers' comment in a cars newsgroup is worth the same.
Point of the matter is that it very much depends where and who says it...
Why, do we not own cars?
One could say that in a modifications group, comments from a person who just bolts Halfords tat onto whatever Eurobox they're currently running aren't worth the same either.
Why did you snip the next bit?
Or those of us who don't modify.
Which doesn't include me. Just been at mine with the spanners today.
Fine - but I'm collecting it from Tring. In Hertfordshire.
David
Nor I, but you still didn't explain why you snipped the point of my post that got your goat...
Sorry, I read it as the other way round.
I didn't.
That's OK. Insult people from Wakefield freely - I live in Dewsbury!

There's a famous quote that I can't remember about it being better not to say anything and have people think you're stupid than to say something and remove all doubt. The same thing goes for sticking s*it to your car.
"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"
