only just read about your accident....glad your ok.......cant believe you got one so quick!......look forward 2 seeing the end result....

Should keep you nice and busy :D

defiantly will keep me busy,

Bloody hell, remember the ebay ad saying there was a "Spot" of surface rust on the arches!

 

Wide arch on the way fella?

if the insurnce will give me enough, otherwise the silver one will be used as a donor. gonna get the gaffa tape out for the mo:headvswal:eek:

Think I'd get an angle grinder with a wire brush on it before it eat the whole car dude!:rofl:

 

Seriosly :x:

Yep some rot there that needs stopping.

 

Otherwise looks really tidy and straight

will have a proper look at it at the weekend, gaffa tape is only for the rest of the week

Bloomin heck, you don't waste ant time do you? :rofl:

 

Good to see you're back and zedding buddy :D

have you sent the wheel brace? I've got another one now so you can keep it;)

Are you sure mate? I'd got it wrapped up to send but if you're alright that'll save a fiver :D

is my number plate legal??

How much did the new motor set you back in the end?

£700, gas mot it end of aug and tax till end of September, so i've got a while to get it up to scratch

I think you're going to have to fabricate those rear sills and arches, if it's anything like my TT pete cut the whole section out and re-welded all the interior metalwork too.

 

Not a bad price though!

should have the silver one to get the sills and arches off. Engine seems good though and is very clean

Cool, you'll find the NA is a bit more gutsy at the bottom end, on a manual box i prefer it :D

will have to look at mine then, seems slower than my tt

:shock:Cannot believe that its the same car i looked at to buy in 2001, recognized the plate then saw Bristol Import center [was just down the road from me]

 

It looked a lot better then and was 6500

will have to look at mine then, seems slower than my tt

 

Admittedly mine is a little bit modified from stock :rofl: lol

It sold on the 19/01/01 for £5500, you could of knocked him down a bit;)

He had the reciept from when it was bought... £5500 i think it was.. been in the family since then.....

Looks like you've got a project to keep you busy. Is that Pearl yellow or Pearl white - I cant tell from the pics ? Either way its going to need a full respray when all the corrosion is sorted as bodyshop wont be able to match the paint.
