Lude Generation

So...on Saturday, after about a year of actively looking for a new BB4, I did an almost 800 mile round trip to pick up this little beauty:



Some of you may recognise her as ADS1's lude (cheers for selling her to me bud !)

I'm over the moon to be back behind the wheel of a BB4 after a 4 year break!

Going to do some bits and bobs over the coming months - probably starting with tidying up the bodywork a little bit - so I've started this thread now to log my progress.

So basically - it's goodbye to my blue BB4:



... and hello to my new black one!

Looking forward to getting started!

Cheers, yeah she's a good one. Needs a bit of TLC but what car doesn't. Drives lovely! Was a real pleasure driving home for 6 hours, didn't get tired or bored once.

Looks great!

congrats

nice one Rich

most excellent the perfect choice of model and colour

whats the plans with the old one?

Well I've just put it in my garage (finally - after 4 years of being in this house - bearing in mind the sole reason for buying a house with a garage was to put my lude in it).. anyway, now that it's in there I am going to strip parts off it to put into the new one. Basically undoing the mods I made over the years, but the main one is the suspension - cost me a small fortune so that's going to be the first thing I take off.

The body needs welding all over - I don't think it can be saved, so I've got 2 options really: either I break it or someone else does.

Very nice purchase. sometimes traveling is the best way to find just the right one. Looking forward to the build on this one.
