It's been a while..

I havent posted on here for a few years, I was in the process of getting the rocco painted when circumstances drastically changed. The car has been under a cover for a few years and needs a service, brake bleed etc, but the main thing is rust on the rear arch! I messaged Blueshark about his repair ...

Optional extra popout windows?

I've got an idea in my head, been searching on Google but I haven't found anything yet.. I know Mk1 Golfs could be specified with opening quaterlights, and popout rears, I think they may have been made by Happich but I'm not 100% on that. I know for certain that Happich made rear popouts for the Mk2 ...

Re: To sell or to break?

All cars have things that need fixing now and again, plus it'll be a lot cheaper to fix the car you have rather than buy a new one. And a Mk2 is a damn sight cooler than 99% of stuff on the roads today..

So don't sell, don't break, fix it and enjoy it!

Re: Left my car at the bodyshop today!

Right, so... its been a crazy, up in the air, hard to gauge headache the last few days.. But (pending viewing the place) I think its all sorted - smaller and rougher but without the nagging bint taking up space :hehe: So I'll be keeping hold of it and going ahead with the planned engine conversion ...

Re: Left my car at the bodyshop today!

It'll be going up for sale when it's painted - I cant renew the lease on my place so I need to find a new one, and I'm single again so have nobody to split the deposit or the 1st months rent with.

Talk about bad timing eh?!

Re: Left my car at the bodyshop today!

Its a place called Finesse Auto Bodies in Stockport - really chuffed that I found them tbh, all the other bodyshops round here were talking about masking over the windows and doing it in a day...

Re: Left my car at the bodyshop today!

Nate - They'd just finished an E-Type and the fella who owned it was picking it up at lunchtime. I tied my trip in with them being at work and got to see a Concours standard Mk1 E Type fire up and drive off..

pretty good day all in all : )

Left my car at the bodyshop today!

And in 4 weeks I'll have the deepest, reddest paint on any Scirocco in the NW! (well until it starts to fade :hugegrin: ) There's a few little changes being made along the way, nothing too blatant and nothing thats not easily reversed, but enough that you recognise it as being something a little bit ...

Re: are these worth a shot? (suspension)

I'm not in the market for any suspension at the moment but (assuming they're not showing any dampness) I'd give £50 for those all day long :D
