    Only 113 miles cross country, but close on 3 hours.... and I've never taken out an engine in my life. Good at making tea....

    I don't think it's right, slagging of the son and grandson,

    They are after still mgb mans family, they may not be helpful but would you like to read people having negative comments about your family

    I think not

    I'm only about an hour and a half away ,and only too willing to muck in with others. I know ALL the swear words to remove VW engines,plus I'm a very good tea drinker.
    Available any time as I'm between jobs.

  18. Over the years @mgbman has been instrumental in restoring and keeping various classic VWs on the road belonging to his son/grandson yet come the day he needs a hand they're nowhere to be seen and he's roping in his pensioner neighbour - Just not on ...
