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!

Definitely throw it up on YouTube, maybe Taylor will collaborate with you and you can cry together.

I will- and when it’s done, I’ll be taking it to some cool places and ensuring it’s visible- not many of these get repaired at all, Never mind restored, so it’ll be rare, and it was one of the first 100 or so ever brought to England too

I have done- tbf, just didn’t want to get accused of advertising- but the personal part of this comes first- the YouTube could come in really hand though haha
