Just as said in the ad really. Needs the drivers seat repairing/replacing and the scratch doing and a liitle scab on the sill on passenger side nothing troublesome. I fancy a single lamp grill too and spacing the wheels out to fit the arches slightly better cant wait to go get her tomorrow. Its been too long the pic in my sig doesn't do my last one justice.

Lots of smoke from the exhaust booked it in for service and cambelt in a couple of weeks but bit worried about how blue it looks

Serviced and CamBelt at Midland VW top bloke by the way. Single lamp grille on looks loads better now I think couple of things left to do but nothing major pics to follow.

Seems to be running dandy at the mo just gotta have the rocker gasket replaced and then I will attack the ICE.

Some pics since I had it and showing the single lamp grille quality isnt the best due to camera on phone.
