been meaning to ask you did you get the rust problem on the rear arch sorted??

[Pete Taylor]

yup, new arch and rear panel welded in, currently covered in red primer with side strip missing Have paint for full respray and all the gubbins but ran out of money doh!

[kells]

cool so your on your way back to mint'ness

who welded the panel in?? big job??

[Pete Taylor]

Friend of a friend did it for me, £250 for parts and labour it cost. Still a long way to go and have suddenly developed unbelievable debt problems from nowhere (never get married, long story). Here's what she looks like at the moment. Done a few more things since but you get the idea..



Since, it's had new VW centre caps, new coolant bottle, HID 8000k xenon headlights and some other bits and pieces. Interior is now a full heated black leather Recaro colour concept one, have new carpets, have a leather mk4 gearknob, custom leather gear gaiter with "GTi 16v" stitched in, chrome cabrio door pulls, wolfsburg chrome door pins, red car mats and a retrimmed red roof lining. Dials are plasma backlit, switches have been chnaged to red LEDs. Just need to get hold of a leather steering wheel if I ever get some money again!

[kells]

looking good tho
and believe me, i know what u mean about getting married, i didnt actually get marrid but came very close and lost a house plus a hell of a lot more too

[Lewism3]

Don't get married, it'll end in tears. Mine did!!

Anyway, congrats Pete on getting married!!

[Pete Taylor]
