Post by: wayders on 19 August 2006, 09:57
At last iv got my smoothed tailgate fitted, had to change mine as had a lot of rot around the hinges, picked up a silver secondhand one with no rust from not escorts ltd for 40 squid and had it smoothed and sprayed for 20 squid...........Bargain!! Anyway here's the pics! (http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n261/Mk1gti_2006/car010.jpg)[/img](http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n261/Mk1gti_2006/car011.jpg)[/img] a couple of b4 shots first  :huh: (http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n261/Mk1gti_2006/car012.jpg)[/img] Believe me these brackets are b!tches to move, ended up have to angle grind the old gate of, leaving old brackets in place and securing new one with bolts..
