Title: Rumour control about my Blue mk2 20vT
Post by: Dizzie on 16 April 2006, 14:52: She was scrapped on thursday the 13th 2006

I didn't crash it or anything like that! The bodywork had rusted away in difficult to fix areas such as around the windscreen, in the door hinge area, fuel flap surrounding area. Not to mention the rear arches (under plastic was a mess), tailgate, etc etc

All the parts worth keeping were removed from the car and either sold on, stored or destined for my edition one.

With all the rust taking over my bodywork it would of cost me more to get that fixed than for me to buy a new car and with the edition one coming along at the right time it was a good chance to move on. I had owned D144 GYN for over 4 1/2 years so a change is nice.

Here's something to remember her byÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â :cry:

Post by: Dizzie on 18 April 2006, 23:16: yup. the pre '88 mk2's did. it wasn't a problem though. the edition one's go that way too as it was LHD. I'll fit single wiper probably.
