Hi guys, No sorry ive had no good news as yet but im working on it. Ive been so busy at work just havnt had time to even think about the 49.! Ive also told my self that i have to sell my rs turbo before i start any work on the 49.
Went to bug jam last weekend (before u attack me....) i only went cos id never been before. and i always believe you should try everything once (well not everything) Thats all im going to say on that, put it this way i wont be going next year!!!
Just bought a golf gti tdi 150bhp and 60mpg, unbelievable, keep it in the family so the saying goes.
If any of you know of a genuine 49 chassis please let me know as i dont want to pin my hopes on this one chassis, tho it would be amazing to have the matching numbers.
ill try to post some pics of the car (49 not rs turbo this time). regards lee
