i will never be free of the cab i'm afraid.  not least cause i went to some psychic thing and the medium picked me out in teh audience,  mentioned the yellow cab in detail and told me i must never sell it  :shocked: :laugh:  it has had loads of work done on it now but i rarely use it.  i havent even bothered to tax it this year  although im starting to regret that with this heatwave.  the white one i owned before and it came back to me from an ex so its a running project for the next 20 years or so. i dont drive a vw daily and i think i may have grown up a bit  :cry:

good luck putting yours back together..  has anything been done to it since the crash.  what happened with the insurance??  was it recorded?

Well my white one was a daily drive and so was the black one for 3 months untill the smash.  I never got over the cause of the accident and i'm angry even 5 years on!  :angry:  :sick:  I now have a company car which is a god send because i had some right non vw trouble makers inbeween just putting me in more debt!....  Yeah dont ever sell the cab, when i last saw it, it was really smart and you'll know you'll regret it.  I thought i'd never seen mine again, have grown up a bit too but thats what makes these mark 1's so good, they're for big kids!  Hope you have a go at the white one!

She's had quite a bit done, was never claimed on nor recorded, been on a jig, new inner wing, new slam panel and front valance.  cars perfectly straight.  just to stop her looking poorly, there is another wing and bonnet fitted which are from an old red gti, they have been hand painted black just so its complete for now, better panels required.  Gonna ask for a spot in the project section.
