Santorini (formerly Java) Td5 90

I’m surprised that I haven’t done a build post on my 90 before, but now that it’s in pieces I thought it would be time!

I’ve had it for almost 4 years and it’s currently undergoing some extensive TLC over with Chris at CSK.

When I bought it, it was fairly stock and needed a few things putting right.

After a few years of playing around it turned out like this.

It went off to CSK back at the beginning of October (I think) and we were waiting for a galv bulkhead to be finished before any strip down happened. The new chassis and bulkhead were painted over Christmas and New Year and the strip down started over the weekend.

For pretty much 17 years old, I don’t think that’s too bad! The engine isn’t actually as scruffy as the photo makes it look!

More photos to follow as the build progresses. Any questions, just ask! Charlie

It’s one of my favourite hidden roads in the Cotswolds! It’s between Chedworth and Northleach

Cheers Greeny!

We had to strip the roof back to bare metal as the paint had completely hazed Charlie

Nope!

Going Santorini Black. Not much of a change, but will be noticeable in the sun. Charlie
