after 6 years of loyal service my first mk2 1.3 is on its way to car heaven :cry:
the car was brought for £400 from an old fella who treated it well.
i did strip most of the parts off her and have either sold, reused on my GTI or put them in the shead!!
-
why was it scrapped though ?? rust ?? damage ??
Seems a shame to scrap a good shell..
-
should have at least kept all the door handles and the rear bumper :angry:
smooth boot may have made a couple of quid too
-
You should have kept all the doors and the boot. They look in good nick and a worth a few bob.
My 3 door 1.3 in Mars Red is mint having been dry stored since 1999. It is the first car I owned, so loathed to get rid of it. Plus its a MK2 as well. :rolleyes:
Tend to find the 1.3 shells are in much better condition than others as they haven't been messed with.
:laugh:
-
and the glass.
-
the shell had rusted!! the smooth boot was letting in too much water as inside it was falling apart.

i left on that door handle as its a sh!tty non gen one. The other three are OEM and are tucked away in the shed.
the rear bumper took a very bad knock and was all smoothed, i was toying with the idea of putting it on my white GTI sprayed up body colour but im not wanting to colour code it all anymore.
-
what about the rear wiper? tsk tsk
-
Thats what I like to see.
Dash the lot :cool:

ha ha!!
i did have the car up in the breaking section but not that much interest. the doors had the usual parking dents and scratches so people who did come have a look were not really keen.
the inside was completly gutted!!! everything gone!!
-
theres too many cars being broken now especially these old car so parts are more available now than ever give it a couple of years lots will have ben broken and they will be rare lol
-
I have a 1990 driver that's been broken at the mo... Then off to the car grave yard in the sky..
Not by choice but rust & Pot holes has gotten the better of her sub frame :-((
Some bits fetch good money but others nothing, Storing really nice bits for my car in the future!!
OP; what did you get as scrap value?
-
i got £50 for it. that is probably way low but i needed my driveway back so i just bit the bullet and got rid of it. i made about £100 by breaking bits and many other parts transferred over to my gti plus parts in storage, so im happy with it.
i thought that parts would be in demand but i had a lot of time wasters :angry:

Surely that's not a major issue worth scrapping over?

Not worth £700.00 to fix and no guarantee it would be 100% sorted when it came back...
Bought a much nicer car for less than the repair and as I said we are selling all the bits off, so should end up in profit at the end of it...
Was always the plan with this car anyway...
-
Fair one :( I'm in a bit of a situation at the mo, I've got two/three leaks, a new windscreen may be a neccessity and possibly some welding over the front wiper blank :( gonna take it to the bodyshop tomorrow to get a quote.

Less on the road so if you ever go to buy a new one it would be more expensive, prices are rising :(
Good for selling, bad for buying.

Prices for good ones have always been strong.... I saw an valver in Oak Green at my mates garage last month and the guy paid £5K for it and then spend £2k putting new bits on and sorting out issues with it... Seems he used to own a Lambo...
with so many being broken at least you can still get parts for them at sensible prices... 6 Million were made so should be plenty left somewhere in the world...
