Pics of our 'New' MK3
« on: 27 August 2008, 19:24 »
The moment I know you've all been waiting for..

Here are pics of the MK3 we picked up on Friday.  Was just meant to be a little run about while we replace our daily car, but we absolutely love it!!  We'll either be keeping it and spending money to make it a bit tidier, or selling it on and buying a minter someone else has already spent out on!!






So come on then...  What is wrong with it?  There is clearly a rusty dint, a missing mudflap and sideskirt sections..  Anyone know what colour (it has no service book or sticker in the boot!) it is?

looks like its had a crash front drivers side. As a bent rusted wing, and a graze on the bumper, which dont tie up, and a grille with no gti badge... Check and see if the head lamps match :/ Its hit something, not hard but still hit something. lol.

Also missing the rear toeing eye cover.

But it looks pretty sweet mate, cant see any probs with it. Looks minter than my write off!!! lol

Hope to see it at some shows

I think it might have had some minor damage all along the drivers side tbh.  The front door has a little crease, the rear door looks like a low budget re-spray..  All panels line up though, so will see how we go with a machine polish.

Will be popping to my bodyshop tomorrow too to find out what the estimate is for the bits I want doing.  Booked in to my mates garage to get it up on the ramps on Monday to give it a proper look over all over and under..

lose the mudflaps and towbar and with a polish (and the little damage sorting) that will be a nice motor.... I agree with kells the indian red is  :cool:
