Long time no post, but still here, even if am not on FB anymore! El Scorchio aka The Shed celebrated 30 years in the UK on 12th July 2015, and her official birthday 1st August as this was the date she was registered. Having covered almost 280k time to give my daily driver a few months off so, 29th A...

Hi Sean - I'd be interested as mine has gone...

Bumpers need some Back to Black...........

Good to know you're back on the road.

Only got it back today & it's been raining..........

Thanks for the posting!

:hugegrin: :hugegrin: :hugegrin: :hugegrin: :hugegrin: :hugegrin: :hugegrin: Saturday 02/06/12 - El Scorchio has tax, mot & insurance & is back in Shobdon where she belongs! Forgot about no power steering after the relative comfort of the Celica.........now I remember the driving experience ...

Thanks Nate, I'd like to believe there's light at the end of the tunnel now.........

9 months on, hoping to get the car back by the end of this month........ :shocking: Garage been busy.......Colin too nice to say no & as I have a 'second' car, not necessarily a priority. As fuel starting to leak from the filler neck of Celica (think the rubber's perished) it's now bumped the Sc...

LOL! No, not given up on the old gal, just took a while, Colin was on holiday for 2wks, then waiting for photos from VW Heritage to show Colin, but they weren't adequate enough for him to make an informed decision, then 4 wks for the part to arrive..... :shocking: Know I could have taken it elsewher...

Been a while but update for what it's worth. El Scorchio SORN'd a bit quick - before DVLA cottoned on & fined me. Phew! :swoon: Ordered the left rear side member from VW Heritage - big thanks to Andy for patience & pictures of the part. :hugegrin: 4 weeks later the part arrived, took it to t...

:buddy: Cheers Mark, will bear your post in mind if cannot get the work done closer to home. :buddy: Just realised I need to SORN El Scorchio - due to the stupid new rules - have insured the Celica & cancelled my policy on El Scorchio 2wks ago - just got the logbook through (it's a red one as an...

Wow Mark - thanks for that - oh yes lots of help! What a turnround you did with project Dare - fancy doing El Scorchio? Lol! Will chat with Colin on Monday, if you've no objection, also email him the link to your thread to illustrate work - am confident that my buying the left rear side member will ...

Very Nice!

Owch....good luck with the resto on the Golf! Just waiting for some further confirmation from VW Heritage before I place the order, but it's looking promising! If my garage don't want to do the job, at least I've then got the part on order/delivered, for someone else to crack on with, as currently s...

:beers: Cheers vw_powered - this is what I have been thinking. I've talked with the son of the mechanic where my car is at present - he's equally as confident of a good result with this option. Initially, I only knew about the rear axle mounts, and Colin was reluctant to try & replace just that ...
