I work at pilkingtons in Eckersall Road and have been driving from Redditch to there every day for 31 years most days in a Scirocco.

Re: Car covers

I have a Stormforce cover for my 85GT. It's very well made fits well dry's quickly and the under body straps keep it in place on a windy day. No replacement for a garage but a cost effective solution to keeping crustyness at bay.

Re: Mk2 Storm with 6k on clock

Tan, still looks cak. Original owner must have thought so too, 6k miles of dissolution and regret.
My old 81 GT had a brown interior, horribly wonderful.

Re: Plastic welding?

This is the kit we use at work for plastic fabrication on ABS/polypropylene. Takes a little practice as it's very easy to over heat the material and burn the surface. A filler rod of the same type of material should be used to bridge the joint which needs to be prepared with a chamfered edge. Once ...
