Rape wagon...

Obligatory duck tape,  shovel and black bags in the rear.  :whistle:

Sounds like a planned project. Looking forward to seeing how long it lasts mind but it'll be fun in the meantime like always.

Kinda agree with the joints but I blame hub conversion to accommodate TT brakes on our mk4 TDI.

Thanks guys :) indeed you do tweed ;)

Went to the mrs' house to do a bit of work on it, must of being owned by some utter mongs after PSI tuning.. wiring is awful and keep pulling wood screws out of everything too :blink:

But managed to get all the water out of it today, had about 3" in when i bought it. Fixed rear doors as one didn't open and one was dodgy and stripped most out.

All in all, the shell is tidy its self but wiring is an mess.. just have to put some time in redoing all the wiring.

Thanks to JC for helping me out today, got a lot more done than i thought! Just two bolts holding subframe on now so hopefully get that stripped off tomorrow.
 
Ripped the fliping mess of a loom out, so starting fresh with the wiring.

Me and Joerg got quite a lot done today, literally just a lump of metal now! Taking a different route to what i originally planned so MK4 TDi box is up for sale and rear axle, which has been flipped & welded, comes with u-bolts and shocks.

Whipped subframe off as i need a new one, got rid of all the brackets and sh!t in the bay and there was £40's worth of fuel in the tank when we took it off so bonus, stuck it in clio dog.

More chopping tomorrow...
