I have recently bought a Mk2 3.4 in need of restoration
grey with red leather interior.
Its only just arrived and I need to get the engine and box running and checked before going further - where would I get hold of a workshop manual and wheres the best place for parts new and used.
I was told that there was fuel leaking from the carbs so I'm going to strip and clean and service these first - could do with real gaskets before making them - where do we get these.
I will probably be a complete pest as I encounter snags with the refurb. I'm sure that you will see many threads developing from me as we go on this journey.
Thank you all in anticipation.
