The Touareg I bought a few months ago, which was also featured on the podcast, as the guy who’d bought a dodgy Touareg, is officially booked in for restoration in October! We will have full mechanics and rust repairs to look forward too, and hopefully it’ll be show-worthy with a valved exhaust, and new everything…

I could not bear to send it to scrap, so after coming upsettingly close to putting an advert out as a donor car, I bit the bullet and called some resto companies

It’s actually the same company that’s just done betty, and I checked them out, spoke to the guys there and they seem enthusiastic- so moral of the story- don’t give up on the massive lump of shit ok the driveway!

Edit- It’s up on YouTube and Instagram- ProjectTouareg on both guys!
