My new 16v anniversary
« on: 02 August 2012, 22:35 »
I just brought this :grin: it's not perfect, needs a fair amount of body work and the mot is up in a week....I'm pretty confident it'll pass, will find out tomorrow. It drives amazing has new wishbones, bushes, tyres just been serviced new battery. All the anniversary bits are there too.

Looks to me like you've got your work cut out there! Still, it is an anni so should look good when sorted.
Im staggered at the amount of people who don't use / haven't heard of back to black style products  :undecided:

Also, I've had a run in with one of those antenna mounts on the back window on my friends mk4....bad memories  :lipsrsealed:

Mechanically it seems sound so bit of elbow grease and some love and money! And the body should follow...I was wondering about the antenna on the window....why?!   First plans mot, then low's and wheel refurb. Then save for body work

We couldn't budge it no matter what we tried. Then we started to wonder if there was gonna be a hole in the window when it was removed, so we ceased trying. In the end took it somewhere and god knows how he got it off but he did 'with some effort'. We were too worried about cracking the window to push it too far! And no hole in window either  :rolleyes:

I hope you checked the sills for MOT  :tongue:

Good luck with the MOT mate, make sure you get her back on top form afterwards. Not many of those around now.

For what I paid I couldn't not buy it..... I know it's far from perfect but like you guys said its a nice rare car.
