chaz Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Keep up the good work mate!! Want to see more pics! This year IS the return of the Mk 3's LOL When I first joined here in 2006 there was only a handful of mk3's in the club, but in the last six months the number have steadily increased some of them are being restored to their former glory, others like mine are being lovingly cared for and enjoyed, this is really good as these cabs are becoming rare now and also for me they are part of the British automotive heritage. SO IF YOU HAVE A MK3 ENJOY IT, LOVE IT AND WHATEVER YOU DO NEVER BREAK HER UP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
