Have currently replaced both pumps but fires but doesn`t run so need to sort that. More updates to follow
-
Plans are to get it back to how it was or better if i can, I will change the wheels for Gold rm012 8x15s as i have a set of those and sell the ones currently on the car.
Will need to get the front seats recovered if any one can point me in the right place, local to essex if possible.They are grey Recaro with red blue stripe, will add pics shortly
-
Who did the whitewash, some dopey council worker?
Looks the tits in the photo's, and won't take much elbow grease to get it back there.
Welcome aboard.

-
How much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking?
-
Take a guess :whistle:
-
What the heck is all that white crap all over it? :shocked:
-
What the heck is all that white crap all over it? :shocked:
I would guess it's White paint. But I could be wrong.
-
Vandalised with a pot of white paint and a brush? Hope it's emulsion and not gloss!
-
Think it's gloss, it's slowly coming off with petrol and decent microfibre cloths, will have to repaint the bonnet and possibly bother rear quarters. Interior has been painted with the same and slit with a knife so need to recover the seats but they can wait for now.
-
Won't you be better of getting a full respray done one time?
-
Possibly but will bo it myself anyway, just finding time to do it. Trouble is it wont stop as will order new window rubbers, gaskets, then fit new lights etc it go`s on and on :wink:
-
Some previous pics, sorry about quality but pics of pics will need to scan them.

Take a guess :whistle:
£1000?
-
That really was a clean example once upon a time.
-
Take a guess :whistle:
£1000?
Spot on. :smiley:
got a ton of spares, new boxed front lights, spots, fogs, rear lights, door rubbers, new inner rear arch lining covers for boot area, 3 sets of rims, BBS steering wheel, amps, roll cage, new sabelt 6 point harnesses. so had a result, as long as i can get it running properly :angry:
-
Look forward to seeing this restored to its former glory :smiley:
-
anyone know the name of the fabric for the interior
-
No, but Google 'Trimdeluxe' and then give Joe a bell.
He's bound to have some lying around.
-
Joe?! Is he on here ?

RS's and RM's and a car for £1000!
Baaaaargins much cheapness.
yep def had a result. going to spend tomorrow on the car see if i can get it running. And need to remove wheel locking bolts as no key for them. so will weld nuts on to them and get the gold rm`s fitted. will suit it better imo.
will get the silver rm`s up for sale once i`ve removed them. If anyone is interested give me a shout.
-
What's the story behind it being trashed then?
WAAAAY more interesting than anything else to do with the car. :grin:
-
Yeah that part intrigues me massively, what do you reckon - Jilted missus? :evil:
-
The slashed seats suggest it was rather personal as apposed to just a random vandal.
Great bargain. Good luck with restoring it.
-
The guy was terminally ill and his mum had a breakdown and done this to the car! Not really that interesting rather sad if you ask me.
-
Yeah, that is rather sad.
I had a neighbour who had a breakdown and did something similar, wrecking all his own hardwork in the garden, including setting fire to the shed he'd built from scratch.
Anyway, onwards and now the Golf has a second chance to have a fun life.
-
Exactly need to source a new metering unit, both pumps replaced again if I lift flap it runs of sorts, so getting there!
Paint is now off both sides just roof and bonnet to do.
Some pics if interior now ;(

The guy was terminally ill and his mum had a breakdown and done this to the car! Not really that interesting rather sad if you ask me.
Sad, yes but interesting too. People do the strangest things. If you hadn't said what had happened that's what everyone would have been wondering, reading the thread :wink:
Suggest you empty the fuel tank completely, maybe flush out and flush the fuel lines, in case there was sugar dumped in the tank or anything silly.

More flatting done today
(http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff101/mini_kel/4839396E-13AC-4149-926F-A74B4B6D9555-621-0000004477ECAF1C_zps2940c8ac.jpg)
-
Thanks to raferackstraw for dropping off a metering head, will get that on tomorrow and see what happens
-
Changed metering unit but still the same, started to remove injectors but only managed to check no1 which is shagged, Back to it monday as off to santa pod tomorrow
-
removed inlet manifold as couldn`t get injectors out but yet again new pumps shagged. Going to source some vag units as bit suspsious of these from gsf
Re cutting the threads on the bbs rims still pics to follow.
Still haven`t got round to painting the car as been to busy with customers cars!
-
Looking forward to seeing this unfold, you picked up an absolute bargain :cool:
-
Think i might keep the BBS rs 3 piece wheels now and reverse mount the rims with the .5 lips so will be selling the RM012`s will try and get one built tomorrow and put on car and post some pics
opinions on this please :;):
-
Got four s/h injectors, so now just waiting for the bosch pumps to arrive which will be monday. cleaned inside rear arches and flatted some more panels ready for paint.
-
why you not use scotchbrites for the flatting off. much cleaner.
-
Usually do use them but needs a bit more due to what the car was covered in and i feel if i put some real time into getting all the panels spot on now i will be much happier at the end,
I`ve found a few rust spots on rear valence so need to get the grinder out and get those sorted also
-
Went to players today and my personnel favorite was this

Picked up a pair of sill trim clips still in vag wrapping for £10 would have cost me more in new double sided tape!!
-
That Merc looks the bollox. :cool:

Sorry there hasn't been any updates but had to get on with real work
