:sad: as title really after putting load of had work into this mk4 getting it to a pretty mint standard someone has decided to put 8 key scrapes down every pannel of the car and have slashed all the tyres :sad: so I am breaking what is left of the car it has got s moothed boot lid and bonnet which has been welded for the de aged grill spax -60mm shocks and springs, everything else is standard. If u want anything give me a pm and I will get back o I ASAP. Thanks to everyone for all your help whilst I have had this car I really do appreciate it and if jaime 1989 reads this pm me mate.
-
why not just get new tyres and touch up the paint? if its mint then why break?
-
I don't have insurance on the car at the moment and it needs a full respray when I say scrapes I mean the whole car down both sides and boot and bonnet have all been done it would be impossible to touch up, I wish I had the money to spray but I don't so will have to break.
-
could always just try a halfords rattle can joby. ive just sprayed my rear bumper with rattle cans, looks fine to me. or look for cars in simelar colour and take pannels off them and stick your pannels on ebay
-
where are you in uk?
-
i may be interested in the bonnet and boot depending on colour also why dont you spray it matt black
-
That is a good idea but my own personal circumstances won't allow for it to b repaired I have only just split up with my fiancee of 6 years with a 7 mint old son, I just can not fix so will have to break. I am in swansea mate.
-
The colour is like a burgendy red mate.
-

-

-
Fkin hell :shocked: :undecided:
-
I genuinely haven't got any enimies the only person I think it could be is my ex girlfriends dad. Bit can't prove it or it was just some jelous person.
-
faccckk :shocked: I have also recently recieved a keying incident, only very minor! but still not the point!
Probably the fastest way to de-value a car :angry:
-

He cant prove it was him
-
I can acctually prove it was him its a long story but have the evidence I need.
-
OMG!!!!!
What an arse wipe Iv seen cars keyed but this is something else!!
Rattle can matt black FTW me thinks. Or find yet another mk4 scrapped and do the conversion again?
-
I know its beyond a joke lol, iam just going to break it nd hope I can get some money back. How's the bora?
-
Cut his eyes out mate wot a bell end
-
Boras going really well mate, sorted a few major issues boost leaks etc, r line bumper is off and back to us bumper :wink:
Iv just had it back from paint shop too so im really happy atm.
Yeah break it mate, alot of parts fetch good money.
To be fair I think in the state its in its still worth £500 plus anyways.
-
f**king bastards!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :sick:
-
Nice mate got to say that bora does shift lol, do you know anyone who wants any bits? If u break how much do u think I would get?
-
Haha goes better now, the actuator spring was fooked back then too :grin:
I reckon £450-500 engine plus box.
Then you have the wheels, drive shafts, gear linkages, interior parts(Seats etc), panels, headlights, bumpers, clocks etc.
You could make abit of money out of it but you have to be willing to keep the car in a secure place for a LONG time before you see the benefit.
Engine parts are also worth money if you split them, Turbo, inlet/exh mani, block, intercooler system but I wouldnt bother selling these seperate imo.
-
ouch dude, if you have evidence then go to the police. he will get done for criminal damage or something and you will proberbly be able to recover costs from him.
or is insurance claim a option
-
Sorry to see that mate I would be livid if that was mine. Mindless pricks!
-
Really feel for you :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: I have had mine done twice - not as bad as that though :sick:
-
Sad times :cry: hope get it all sorted out.
-
Hi guys thanks for all you replys I am angry more than anything to b honest, the only evedance that I have against him is that he was pissed that nite and at 2 in the morning he got out of bed and shouted I am going to kill mike then trys to hit my ex then goes for a walk for 1 1/2 hours then goes back home now it took my 40 mins b4 to walk from that house to mine so it could b possible and for the fact that wen my ex found out about my car she phoned me nd sed I think its my dad but that's the only evidence I have. I phone the police and they sed Ahh well with the bank holiday and queens jubille there isn't enough resourses to b able to send police out I mean I am not taking the piss or nothing but fu** me. :sick:
-
Mate, If thats the case, Ring the police back and record them saying "can't be arse to help you cuz the queen is more important than doing our jobing serving the public which is infact what we are paid to do" Sell the story to the local papers which will give you some repair money, A very close friend of mine owns his own restoration garage and Im certain he can get your car resprayed for a half decent price too if you buy the paint and pay for the laybour (off the books ofc) but if you know its him, going back to do his car will just prove your as low as him, id have much more satisfaction saying Feck you mate, cars all fixed and still better than your pile of crap!
-
I know mate I ain't going to touch his car because first of all its obvious and second of all I would never touch anyone's car coz I have mre respect than that and I love cars so he will pay for it but the legal way. I just hope the police will do something when I phone them again tomoz if they don't then I will b going further with it I don't deserve to have my car done over then nothing get done about it. If I was to rub the paint down ready for spray how much do I think it would cost?
-
you could get a cheep over the top spray which shouldnt cost too much. my mate had his done for around £5-600. and unless your changing the colour i dont see the point in going to bare metal, just wasting time taking off colour when you can go over it fine imo (but im not painter so could be wrong, however his looks spot on)
bare metal one your going to be looking at over a grand proberbly.
however if you scrap the car/split it you will get what £500 or so and be left with a load of unwanted parts that noone wanted on your drive, your then going to have to go out and buy a sh!tter with that £4-500 and then take a trip to the scrappy with all the left over bits and take £100 or so proberbly. ide rather keep the golf and try get it fixed. get a repair pen or a can of laquer and go over it to stop any bare metal rusting for the time being then get it fixed when you can, thats what ide do. or if your old and luky enough to have cheep insurance and can afford a claim then go through insurance.
-
It isn't insured atm lol, the thing is I don't have that sort of money and I am going to do my plumbing apprentiship in September so can't even afford a car atm I was hoping I may b able to get 500 for a full engine conversion then my mate is having the suspension for 60 and the wheels for 80 then I may b able to just sell the window regulators headlights tail lights smoothed bonnet and smoothed rear then just weigh the rest in at the scrappy for like 60 quid then send my tax back that is 80 so I ain't sure what to do atm its all a bit confusing lol
-
:angry: :angry:
feel for ya mate had same thing happen to my agu when i had it was well gutted .. i just got a man in a van to come touch it up but was never as mint as would have liked it makes u really fall out with the car.. :sad:
