So a MASSIVE thanks to Clipperjay for going to view it for me this afternoon and sorting the deal, I will let him do the description, espeically the part about him buying it if I dont turn up with the cash  :tongue:

Well its true I said to the seller if Chuffy mucks you about (which he defo wont) give me a ring back!
IMO the car has seen 30K on it not stated 60K Apprently the old boy would drive it once a weekend then bloody wash the car polish it then cover it in the garage! He bloody loved that car words fail me!
QTR pannels, doors, wings, everything striaght I thought it had new calipers errr no they were 25 years old  :grin:

Its got new water pump and belts and its just god dam too new! I found the crappy plastic scuttle pannel still in tact YEAH the sh!tty one I havent seen a new one intact since 1989!
Just dont mess with it, massage it and give it TLC that is all Chuff!!!  :kiss:

Well someone is pre booked to give it his magic touch ( not that it needs it apparently )

and jay has seen it, so his description is all I can go on.

Just spokee to the seller, and he said.

The old boy didnt drive it much but  when he drove it,  he washed it, he polished it, then tucked it away again,

The only thing he doesnt have is the FULL DOCUMENTED history, the old boys wife thru it away  :shocked: :shocked: :cry:

Yeah the car reminded her of him with the amount of time he spent on it, sad really. But possibly we can find out if it was serviced from a local dealer and then get them to reproduce the service books for it as its a nice original car!

I'm undecided about the keep it standard argument.. I think as long as you do things which can be undone easily then it ain't too bad.. Like maybe keep the shocks and wheels if you change them. :/

That's why I said just wheels and a drop, bolt on parts easily changed back to OE. Is it just me, or are the best looking mk1s these days are the ones that are completely OE apart from the wheels and the drop, a mk2 as good as that, could easily pull that same look :cool:

Big up the OE but slightly modified circle!

Let's hope it gets a relay kit before the wee colouring on its headlights.  Golf2s need all the help they can get with headlight output.  :grin:

Exactly what I said to him, I was reminded that every vehicle including his bikes has had the chuff urine treatment bar the 20vt p155rat.  I doubt that this vehicle will escape the headlight style commode mod.

Perhaps I'll be tempted to make him a loom if he wants.................  :lipsrsealed:

Yes he's going to tow it to shows with painters tape and bubble wrap all over it for transportation protection.  At shows it will be on hub stands with lots of mirrors cunningly placed on the ground so everybody can see how clean it is...  I know you love that sort of thing Mr C.  :grin:

Let's hope it gets a relay kit before the wee colouring on its headlights.  Golf2s need all the help they can get with headlight output.  :grin:

...can't you get some retro fit HIDs for that ? :huh:

Looking forward to seeing some more pics of this Chuff, looks a real find, but knowing you and you're internet searches (of the car finding variety :grin: ) I'm sure it will have been a long time coming. :cool:

You're buying a trailer as well?

Yes he's going to tow it to shows with painters tape and bubble wrap all over it for transportation protection.  At shows it will be on hub stands with lots of mirrors cunningly placed on the ground so everybody can see how clean it is...  I know you love that sort of thing Mr C.  :grin:

oh gawd... Chuff has a show pony and guess who'll be cleaning it

actually... that ain't a bad idea chuff

are you going to chrome the brakes and sh!t like that?  :laugh:

You're going to be a busy boy then.  :evil:

First job, strip any underseal that's on it and get it back to paint.   :grin: Replace everything with shiny bits and then Chuff needs to invest in some mirrors and hub stands.

well i weighed up the cost of getting it delivered which was £80 this afternoon short notice booking

against having to go back tomorrow after work and getting i etc etc

 and as it took my 3 hours to get there today then I am fooking glad I did.

also its means I can hold off taxing it til the first of april, which means I will be good til end of september  tax wise

at whcih point it will be re sorn for some with fettling  :wink:

So, another 20 miinutes or so and it should be here as he wont be doing the speeds I was round the M25  :evil:

and no its not rust, its a mixture of dirty and original wax in here

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/DSCF4491.jpg)

even the door shut to the drivers side is gleaming, the other seats dont look as if they have been sat in

and all the windoes all have the following markings

My worry was the two dents but chuff was aware when we chatted but he likes them  :laugh:
Once its gets a good wash and polish it will be the cleanist MK2 in his area hopefully!
It does look like less than 60K has been on that motor  :cool:
I'm guessing the more chuff drives it the less he will muck about it with it!

well the deal could have happened, but after going out and checking the old girl over,

a few " well chosen " words, and a few " abusive " words of advice by text and PM she can stay.

First priority is suspension, I have a few irons in fires for some 2nd hand kit

if not then it will be

http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=3920618

then when I have saved up it will be a choice of wheels either some

 Rota RBs  :huh:

or

something really different and retro

http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/15_Inch_League_195_Alloy_Wheels__3130

So let the suspension hunts continue and the ciggie money that I put by continue to rack up enough to fund the rims  :cool:

a couple of offers for it

and a fair few purchases I thought we should go back to the start  :undecided: :huh:

Lets actually DRIVE the car for the first time.

so after 4 hours in the vectra today I took Clive for a drive  :grin:

It starts, it moves, forwards at the second attempt, the linkages are goosed.  :laugh:

all gears work  :smiley:

it stops, eventually  :shocked:

it steers ( or it could be classed as wallows )  :evil:

Tickover is high, think the carb needs overhauling / replacing  :cry:

so, tomorrow will be tinkering day

The Apec springs and Boge shocks i picked up from Vaughn ( cheers again ) look nearly new, so just gotta find out how low it actually is  :lipsrsealed:

Shame I couldn't drive it the tick over was high but I thought it was just cold didnt leave it long enough TBH.
Funny you say the carb might need a good clean because the chap said he wanted to webber convert it for his son so that said he might have known an issue with it, either way it should be a easy fix on it.
My old Pierberg unit needed taking off once in awhile and tollarances re-set on the butterfly's even a leaky rubber gasket plate can suck too much air in hard to say untill its off.
looks better lowered though  :smiley:

clippy,  idle seems to have resolved itself, a good trash  :lipsrsealed: with fresh fuel and some carb cleaner  :laugh:

to be fair theres nothing that seems a major worry with it, the gear change is "  interesting " but just adds to the driving experience

Stick some fresh gear oil  change the rod links hopefully thats all it needs shame I would have spotted the dodgy box if I got to drive it. :grin:
TBF at the price he was offering theres not much lower we could have gone in price, glad it didnt go to full egayness though!


oh its just the linkages, and the fact you dont need to push down to get reverse  :shocked: :laugh: :grin:

I am MADE UP with the car Jay, thanks again for viewing it etc :afro:

Good we got there in the end fella!
I still need a evaluation done on mine  :lipsrsealed:

well i thought I would apply the forum decal Jv sorted out for me

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/9ca2fbc4.jpg)

then thought about investigating the water leak that appeared when it was getting a good soaking care of Mr Tona.

so a bucket ( nearly got the hose out  :shocked: ) of water was thrown over, and it appears to be coming down the clutch cable, onto the pedal then dripping down .

whilst under the dash I saw

and thought, no way, jay would have checked in there  :undecided: :huh:

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/db903257.jpg)

perhaps not then  :laugh:

No service book, but some paperwork which has given me a garage to contact to see if they have any history, and all the original books

oook... here we go

I had a day with the old girl today... something I have been very much looking forward to for a while!!  :evil:

I knew as the old girl had been looked after very well by some old boy that it would come up lovely, but even I was surprised at how good the paintwork quality was after all these years... I am not sure there are many, if any, modern day cars that will look brand new after a quick machine polish (apart from the odd dent) in 20+ years time?

so some pics... after the valet the other day I cracked on with a quick waterless wash (see... TONA are trying to help with water use reduction during the ban)... and then a clay bar treatment. I used an aggressive clay bar which did the trick of removing a lot of contamination, however I clayed a 5 year old Alfa last week which made the clay bar I used then twice as dirty.. which can only go to show how well Clive has been looked after.

Clive Dunn (http://www.flickr.com/photos/guyfrankland/6919788734/) by Guy Frankland (http://www.flickr.com/people/guyfrankland/), on Flickr

The clay bar did leave some marring which is visible in the left hand side of the above shot, but there was also a standard amount of swirl in the paintwork.

There were also some areas of bird lime marks which had attacked the clearcoat... I sanded these areas lightly using wet and dry and then polished them back up..

Sanded

I also asked Chuff to remove the door handles as there were significant marks under the handles which really needed a machine polish as the areas were marked from usage and were very dull

Before: (can't see too clearly all the scratches etc)

Once I had completed the machine polishing I then made sure the areas were free from polish residue. I then coated in Autosmart Silver Seal paintwork protection.

to be fair, it was a good car to start with  :tongue:

oh absolutely... i think i mentioned the quality of the original paintwork in my post, i didn't have shed loads of RDS (random deep scratches) to worry about which helped massively.

the chances of finding a 20+ year old car, in its original state, that only needs a single pass machine polish to make it look this good are probably in the region of 10,000:1 or maybe less.

can't wait to work on it again.

I sometimes tell people that Jade Green can take on the appearance of Chrome! when its highly polished that is... the comment is usually met with a vacant stare, as they wonder what I'm actually on about!
Jade is a very understated colour, dark enough to deeply reflect the sky and clouds, yet the grey/green seems to disappear as its over powered rich reflections, leaving the paint almost colourless...

Great job Guy... but to be fair, the car was mint to start with :lipsrsealed: :grin:

I know... its a lovely colour and when you look at it very closely when it is clean, polished and has the sun on it, it has a kind of pearlescent effect deep within it... hard to describe but it is a very mesmerising paint to look at...

and yes... it was mint to start with, mostly, just needed a little bit of lovin to bring it back to showroom  :smiley:

Respect to you, for £1k it looks really nice and if you ever wanted to sell it then it should sell for more.

Pull down unit sticking?

With the gasket base try some of that start spray stuff can't remember what its called, but its got octane in it.
If you spray around the base plate where the carb sits the idle should rev up by sucking the stuff in at that point you know you have a leak around there.
As for WAX stat there is a trick of chucking it into boiling water the heat resets the WAX and have known to sort it out?

Don't put any Vauxhall exhaust bits on it, they will be rusty in the time it takes to fit them.

Shouldn't cost much to replace at all, however it is sad that you were itching to spend some money a few days ago and this crops up just in time.

As far as the linkages go, change all of the rod bushes while you're at it.

Couldn't agree more, a linkage kit only costs about £20 and completely transforms the gear shifting once done.

anyway, decided to sort the rear struts out too with new mounts, top plates and rubbers

so, an evening in the sunshine

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/F7E4D6C1-311F-45E7-90D4-DC277D34A5F4-6197-00000A71A22318A7.jpg)

was followed by an early stack today, off to the tyre place we use at work, and £30 later the old girl is fully cambered and tracked up a treat

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/C6AE1DC4-6980-4120-B9B6-3ACCCD84D6B0-6197-00000A6F23933782.jpg)

and as I gave it a quick clean before I left work, an ideal time to see the new stance

So, the 3 fails

60%  :shocked: brake imbalance on the front - but it seems to drive ok, knowing I road test cars at work, they cant believe I didnt notice  :laugh:

Steering rack gaitor split - this in turn is restricting the car going onto full right hand lock - again, they cant understand how i didn know when i am a picky fcuker when roadtesting cars at work  :grin:

Emissions - co2 high - but when it was put back on the tester at lunch to adjust it - it was fine  :huh: :undecided:

So on wednesday it's front brake clean up, fluid change and steering rack gaitor change  :cool:

Advisories were all niff naff ones,  :smug:

not one mention of corrision or rot, and as the tester was getting QC'd it got a VERY good going over.

so not too bad considering its age, and a 04 plate 206 got condemned on the next test thru  :evil:

dash speakers - what a cnut to change when you have hands like shovels  :angry:

then the string I had used to trace a path for the new aerial lead snapped  :lipsrsealed: :shocked: :cry:

75 minutes of try try and fooooooooooking try again to feed a wire coathanger back thru - even more difficult when on your own, trying to wiggle it under the bonnet reaching out of the car whilst trying to see the thing under the dash - and it starts raining - think my neighbours learnt some new words this avo  :whistle:


eventually got it done, fitted the new rear speakers and have given up - the under bonnet stuff can wait til wednesday when i go it indoors in my mates garage  :smiley:

Well as the very helpful man above has suggested, today was a trial run for the car after a disastrous saturday.

Got the Weber fitted,  :cool:

(http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp359/chuffs69/2BA0E385-886F-40C5-B1DD-64A6B7832A09-3121-0000054C4D05DF39.jpg)

and the car broke down on my mate on the test drive  :rolleyes:

It came back to life, so I collected it without issue.

Then on Saturday it broke down on me 3 times, and by process of Elimination and Part replacement and a call to the diamond isle, a faulty coil and or ignition amp was the cause.  :cry:

AT NO POINT was it recovered, so no piccies, a good hit on both of the above got it going welll enough to get it home,  :grin:

Today was its long range test after a few laps of the estate last night. and it made it despite a lot of puddles on the way.

so the Webers final fitment stages were completed and the CO level adjusted.

New up, lets see what MPG I get now, the last tank before weber change was 25 mpg  :sick:

Took the car to work to re-check the CO levels and all was well  :cool:

Also refilled it and have done a tank to tank MPG and the weber despite a good trashing has returned a healthy 34.8mpg :afro:

decided to give it a quick once over too, my job does have one perk I suppose.

and as usual Len, completely wrong :afro:

diagnosis on a ramp was required - 2 people required - which i did with the garage owner

 once it was there, it stayed on the spare ramp in bits - cos he a very nice man

was then rebuilt at a VERY minimal cost to me as i had self diagnosed.

Sometimes it pays to use a free ramp and just throw a mate a few beer tokens rather than driveway spannering

further, my diagnosis has further assisted someone else with a similar issue  :laugh:

tried selling it, twice on ebay.  :rolleyes:

got offered 4 french cars, 2 fords and a jap motor as a swap - oh and 3 cash offers for full asking price THEN they wanted a price without the cups.  :lipsrsealed:

Erm, the full cash asking price you offered  :rolleyes:

So gave up, re-taxed it, then put some fuel in it, first time since july  :shocked: which means its not had the use its should have.......

 then I realised its still had more use than Thoms MkII and moved more than Shauns MkI has  :grin: :laugh:

So a set of decent used set of 15 Steels ( G60s or Passat Winters - who cares  : :undecided:  ) with 4 good V12 Hankooks in the prefered 195-50 15s came my way   :cool:

Now all I gotta do is decide which centre caps   :huh:

A " cobweb clearing drive lead to a dent on the nsr wheel ( managed to miss it with the front, just  :whistle: )

So a bimble ( read driving a tad hard ) to Silverstone ended up with a reduced selection of gears  :whistle:

and a larger than normal gate into the remain couple of gears  :laugh:

having limped to silverstone to watch son in law race his Bini, it turned out it was Mk2 Golf Gti Champs too  :cool:

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b142/chuff69/IMG_6465.jpg)

so mid bodge with the Ty Wrap and tape, over come a couple of the  Mk2 racers to look over the car ( no sunroof - ideal race shell  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: )  and see what was up  :evil:

5 minutes later, a replacement part was forthcoming and all gears returned  :cool:

1, change the oil   :shocked:

2, sort the gear linkage  :laugh:

added in a few other jobs to do and headed off to The Diamond Hell, and the helpful Danny P.

so, aswell as the above,

new top mounts fitted without dropping the struts off the hubs  :whistle:

New rear wheel bearings as they where noisey at MOT time.
