MK3 Golf GTi 16v grey - Getting scrapped.

[ju571n]

I had to do the same with mine, bought it knowing i had to rebuilod the jacking point.. Started stripping the underseal away with a wire brush in my grinder onlyu to go through lots of metal with it, so i ended up doing:

Rebuilding jacking point
Replacing the entire sill
Replacing the 3/4 floor pan

I then had a piggle the other side and ended up doing:
Rebuilding  the jacking point
Replaced 1/2 the sill
Replaced the entire floorpan
Plated over to bung holes

Then one of the arch trims wasnt stuck on quiet right so pulled iut off to find that i needed to repolace an arch...

all in all with the the rear arch, two sills and some shaped floor pan tin, a litre of underseal and some seam seal i think it all cost me £100ish IIRC

My uncle started me off and showed me how to do it, i then did the rest myself so no labour costs..

Good luck on getting it fixed up Shady

fook me, it amazes me how rotten mk3's can get!

no more boat jokes as clearly a MK3 wouldn't be safe at sea!

Thanks for the info ju571n, that's a hell of a lot of work you did there, but in all seriousness mine it probably at a similiar level.

Yea it sounds like a lot, but when you get down to it it doesnt seem so bad. because if your replacing the sill it you have to weld it to the lfloor pan anyway etc..

Probably took me 3-4 afternoon/nights to do it all.  Maybe did over do it a little but atleast i know itll be ok for another couple of years!

New sills ordered. Hopefully will be sorted next weekend.

Hadn't seen this for a while.

I see the usual Shady FAIL is in force.

That is correct. I wondered how long it would take for you to bring on the Shady FAIL train.

Whens the deadline for getting the paint done Shady? I'm looking forward to seeing the polished rims and a matte paint job

Volksfest is my deadline. As soon as I have the sills sorted I'm going to get my bootlid replaced (replacement I have but need the window transferred to the new one). Once that's done I'll be sanding it down and cracking on. The end of April may even see the prep beginning.
