Been a while since I've posted here.
Christmas and New Year have come and gone and I've been using the B as much as I can.
It's done about 800mls and apart from some serious rattles and some intermittent gauge workings it's running well.
BIG learning curve to drive smoothly and I'm not sure if it's me being spoilt by new cars with power steering and brakes or it is just a difficult car to drive.
David pestered me about driving it now he has his full license and I let him have a go the other day.
All in all he did ok but I think he now realises how difficult the actual driving bit is. He needs lots more practice and I hope the gearbox can take the punishment.
Which brings me to this:
It's a Mk1 gearbox WITH overdrive.
I won't go into how I came by it but although it looks a little rough now I'm hoping that I can eventually install it.
Hopefully after Davids gear changes have improved.
