I just brought this :grin: it's not perfect, needs a fair amount of body work and the mot is up in a week....I'm pretty confident it'll pass, will find out tomorrow. It drives amazing has new wishbones, bushes, tyres just been serviced new battery. All the anniversary bits are there too.

Looks to me like you've got your work cut out there! Still, it is an anni so should look good when sorted.
Im staggered at the amount of people who don't use / haven't heard of back to black style products :undecided:
Also, I've had a run in with one of those antenna mounts on the back window on my friends mk4....bad memories :lipsrsealed:
-
:cool: good choice
-
Mechanically it seems sound so bit of elbow grease and some love and money! And the body should follow...I was wondering about the antenna on the window....why?! First plans mot, then low's and wheel refurb. Then save for body work
-
We couldn't budge it no matter what we tried. Then we started to wonder if there was gonna be a hole in the window when it was removed, so we ceased trying. In the end took it somewhere and god knows how he got it off but he did 'with some effort'. We were too worried about cracking the window to push it too far! And no hole in window either :rolleyes:
I hope you checked the sills for MOT :tongue:
-
Yeah I gave them a good poke but we will see tomorrow!
-
Good luck with the MOT mate, make sure you get her back on top form afterwards. Not many of those around now.
-

Don't poke them too hard :grin:
-
That's gonna look stunning once you've put some money into it!
Good choice
-
For what I paid I couldn't not buy it..... I know it's far from perfect but like you guys said its a nice rare car.
-
Very nice project and worth throwing some money at :cool:

Looks like a good project bud, come then, how much?
-
£500 :smiley:
-
£500 :smiley:
That's about what I got mine for, except I've plower a fair bit of money into it since April last year...I daren't add it up.
-
I'm gonna have to earn some browny points at home before I spend on it
-
What are the sills and jacking points like.....first job is to take the covers off :wink:
-
They seem ok , taking it for mot tomorrow to see what I'm dealing with
-
how could someone let one of these get in this state :undecided: as long as its just the bodywork that needs doin then should be a good project
-
Bring it round me work sunday chap! I'll have a perv and have a good check round it if you want, and we aint too busy!
-
I will mate nice one, taking it for mot in an hour!
-
Nice to see another Anni getting saved looks like you have got plenty to do but thats what makes it fun hope the MOT goes well :wink:
-
Yh good luck!
-
Nice mate, looks like a good project and if it passes will make a decent rollin resto.. :wink:
-
So, how'd it go? :rolleyes:
-
Just dropped it off and waiting to hear. ....feel really nervous!
-
Failed but only on a worn brake pipe and there gonna fix it for £30 tomorrow so i am well happy!
-
Not too bad at least it didnt fail on much.
I paid £500 for mine but without the wheels.
-
Just a tip on the antena mount as i had one on mine.Think i used a new stanley blade to get it off,just work it around all sides until it comes off,you will be left with some sticky on the glass also again use the blade to remove this but be careful not to scratch your glass or cut yourself.A hairdryer will also help.

Looks a good project, nice to see another Anni being saved

:grin: Like you care. You hate MK3s. And if you say you don't, prove it by buying another one with the money you just got from the Skoda.

Whilst I would not normally bother to reply to comments like this, let me make it clear I do not hate mk3's so please do not twist what I said or was posted.
Also why would I buy another, you seem to forget I had one and I never buy the same car twice if I can help it plus what would be the point in buying an older car with all the problems and rust they suffer with.
The Skoda replacement will / maybe be non vag and a lot newer.
