My 18th today, I wake up open cards and find these:  So I go outside, open the garage and:         1600cc engine What I need to fix: Oh and this pipe, where does it go, theres a hole aswell.   Anyway what I need to do.  New interior, its got damp damage.  New front quarter of window, sourcing one at the moment  A new petrol flap thing   New mirrors  Need to repair fiberglass (How?)  New trim  New bumpers, a bit loose.  New exhausts Also New hood/boot thing brackets needed, havent got a picture New locks so i can have one key for unlocking  New handbrake handle thing needed  New tax needed, and a driving license Only little jobs really, some bubbling, loads of welding was done last year according to the seller. I checked the underside for rust, it seems ok. Also i have the dreaded filler in many places  |

List of what i'm replacing at the moment.
New chrome trim
New exhaust due to big hole
New Interior
Vw doomed hubs cabs
New carpets
Tombstone indicators
New wings front and back to replace chunky fiberglass ones
One window catch
Rear seatbelts.
All I can think of at the moment
My uncle is going to have an in depth look to see what welding is needed and see if anything in the engine needs replacing (he works at HI-TECH down telford estate thing)
Then eventually sand it down, get rid of the bubbles and repaint
Going to be a restoration project i think now

They are prolite wheels. Cost around £80 each new. So given they are used and probably not mint, id say put them up in vzi sale section for around £150 and see where you go. |
