as some you may know i had the vr fully resprayed a few weeks ago , new windscreen was fitted as it broke will they were taking it out. a well known company came out to fit new one and seals. heres what they did..... nice job mate well done wtf is going on there? dont tell me he thought that was ok to walk away from! a piece of flexi trim that looks like it belongs on a lada :mad2: .they came out today [i left them the keys because i was at work], got home still the same, when i rung up ,they said ''oh the fitter could not do it as he had the wrong trim again! i told them which type it was aswell the four piece set. they have now ordred this ....third time lucky?

thanks mate some day i will get it finished :lol:

didnt know there was one , when i rang my local vw place they said the frame was no longer made ,stopped in 08.im getting a 2nd hand one on here.mine got stuck broke a metal slider and scratched new paint :(

thanks mate i need all the encouragement i can get at the moment :lol:

thought id post up the polished pics thanks to nate who again gave up another day ! was not long before the others decided theres needed cleaning aswell :lol: the vr is getting there .but i seem to be at a loss with it at mo :( leaking sunroof [pipes wrong way round]. when we put it in it was fine workin great ,then it jamed itsself and scratched new paint :bad-words: .lights playing up, windscreen fitted with flexi trim not original so it not only leaks but does not meet a pillas on inside .they are coming to do it properly!!!.

total cost was £2200 ,considering when you see what they have done its a bleedin good price .

sounds good to me mate need to feel the love again!

thanks for replys peeps ,and for everyone that was round today .looked like a dub meet!,nath [thanks for hours of polishing !] matt and robster r32 for geeeein me up , spose we should all remember once a car is factory fitted it dont like bein messed about with afterwards! thanks guys :)

very strange ive only just got me vr back ,spent three days putting her back together ,polishin n all that caper .i new there would be nagging issues sunroof wont go in right, wheelbearing started humming on way home :roll: , windscreen fitted by autoglass leaks!![sortin tommorow]. n a few other bits . but not havin the c on the road for a year whilst savin up n gettin it sprayed i could not wait to get it back .....dont know why but i seem to have lost the love for it :( i was not even bothered about drivin it much !! hope the love comes back soon :( spose we all feel like it sometimes ?.

did mine on thursday yep it will go in with some force and as said its a pain in the arse to do!

got me c back from the sprayshop got her back together . when we picked it up they said when they replaced pillars they could not get the drainage tubes in the way there sposed to, so they had to turn them round. now i have the problem that the tube end is to small to go over the sunroof drainage plastic tube :roll: .we managed to get them on a bit and taped them up for now but it leaks does anyone know of any plastic adapters that may fit or another solution? any help is much appreciated thanks rob :salute:

nice work this well done mate :)

thanks guys, well she's back me n c488ado [nate] left for bath at 6.30 in the morning where we put on the legals, oh yea i forgot the camera :epicfail: .anywho they were polishin it when we got there bout 8.15, they must have been rushin it because theres a few lines that show up, but we can polish them out.we got back to devon and worked for two days solid,heres some pics we took out the dash so we could start again from scratch on the interior, gettin rid of rattles n squeeks also to put back wirein properly . dash back in n some other bits she started to look like a car again will get some more pics up when its been polished ,thanks to nate who gave up two days of his time to help me get it back together think there were times when we had both had enough !! n just wanted to walk away from it .the small nagging bits will get done in time ,its nice to have her back and be able to drive it again :clap:
