project auto gt

[aaronr]

Hey all thought i may aswell do a thread on this as its turning into more of a project than i thought brought a 87 1.6 gt auto scirocco about a month ago for a massive sum of £250 with a few problems main one was blocked fuel line so easy fix (i thought) got it home a month back and gave her a full exterior clean :





Then started to sort things out on her first of all found why the fuel line was blocked supposedly a common problem on these :



Thought thats not to bad untill this weekend when started to take it out andddd found more problems first the filler neck :



Kinda had it which os annoying then whilst scraping all the dirt and mud out of the arches found this:



Yay fooked arch not fun and finally last thing was removing the fuel tank to clean it out:



So thats all for now and now need to source a new filler neck cheaply lol
