I can see why someone might want to scrap it - with the roof down it'd make a convenient skip.

 :grin:

In all seriousness I'm shocked at what people consider scrapping.  Well done for saving it - plenty of life left in that I should imagine.

Yep, I have a friend who does crazy things like this quite often.  Even as far as spending quite a bit of money on a car to put things right, then giving up when there is nothing wrong with it and letting it go for nothing!.

Praise for saving a MK3 though Mr C? coming from you that still makes me laugh.  :grin: You're becoming quite sensitive in your old age.

Sounds pretty solid then. You might want to check behind those sill covers.  :lipsrsealed:
