Free Golf!!
« on: 07 December 2008, 17:39 »
Evening.

My neighbour and I have just inherited a free mk3, and what a beast!
(Sorry for the poor pictures, winter is with us)


Only a 1.4 but 3 doors so it has the show but no go. We plan to clean it up, MOT, return the chav'd bits to standard and use a daily runabout.



Areas of concern (help please!)

N/S sill trim needs replacing. How does this fit on and what option do I have (GTI the same trim?)


The drivers window has broken away from the lifter so a new mechanism will be needed. An easy job?
(It took 4 grown men to figure out how to remove the manual winder handle to get the trim off, PMSL!)
The interior looks like someone's made a dirty protest all over.


The fuel flap sticker had been ripped off and damaged the flap.


That it so far, all comments and help welcome. I expect I'll have loads of questions when work kicks off.
