Mate, i bashed my spotless caddy van into a metal barrier on an A road a few months back.... similar damage to yours at the front.. I nearly cried..  bahhh

But..it can usually be fixed, I used a big hammer, lots of sweat and blood and a credit card for GSF parts !! .. The support offered on here is phenomenal really, just a same it takes an accident to find out how nice & helpful a lot of people are ::)

Good luck ;)

I've found a MK1 driver in a local scrappy with some good panels.  Bonnet, wing and inner wing if required.  Rare cos the yards round here never have mk1's.  Gav have u found some too then? Haven't really done enough yet.  Cars still out the side of my house don't know where to put or where to start.  A neighbour has offered his garage for a few ? a week but it?s not ready yet.

My old man sent me a txt a couple of weeks ago about a cheap cab.  Didn?t really take much notice of it since my gti was enough for me, couldn't look after a cab as well even if it was cheap..   Now my circumstances have changed I thought I?d better check it out. Need a run around.  Cars round here like fiesta's and fiat's are knocking out at 400 500, this cab was going for 650.  I went to see it the other day.  It?s a bit rough, bad paint, lumpy rare 1.4.  (Import)  It was very low in the rot department and the roof was good though.  I managed to knock it down to ?570.  Impulsive but I bought it with the money that was meant for the wheels for black magic.  My plan is.  If the GTI can be repaired, I?ll get on with that and run this cab around.  Then maybe in the winter, I?ll strip the cab and give it a new colour!.  Maybe black to match.  Who knows?  Could have a little family eh rich?  Got some probs with it already.  gotta see if I can fix em.  The cooling systems over pressurizing and has already blown a hose up!. Anyway here she is.

nice one shaun! that's a bargain mate....

you may not have seen the thread but I accidentally bought a knackered mk1 on ebay the other day...apparently it has two new front wings on it, so should be able to flog them to you if you need them.
