glad you got it sorted,its not that bad not havin it off the road ,hated it for the 1st week or so then you get over it n think what you will end up with. :) thanks for sortin bits matt if you want me to hold the door down durin the struggle let me know :lol:

ile 2nd the dark burgandy pearl :clap:

thanks mate ,bummer bout your caliper, take it you sorted it? seems along time since shes bin off the road not long now :clap:

you paid a monkey for that :shock: thats pretty gud goin mate nice one ,im payin 1500 for full resray but thats not inc windows and sunroof removal :salute:

brake calipers now sorted, degreased n painted in halfords red 300degree stuff thingy paint.am up to about 1200 quid now so not long to go before she goes to the sprayshop :salute:

i used gunk bud photos make it look better than it is but its 100% cleaner n does look pretty good ,was thinkin of puttin that foam pipein round the wirein that runs down the side of the battery to keep em clean ,cant do any harm can it? :salute:

thanks mate dont know why there so close together though? pushed return inbetween pics aswell :shrug:

been cleaning engine n bay today think it turned out ok :) under the battery and wireing was the worst 18 years of gunge dirt n grease ,next job is wheel removal to clean arches suspension n repaint brake calipers :salute:

just as a matter of interest why do some people get banned or close to it when others dont? know im a newbie n all that ,but think that if you pay for something n you dont get it ,send pm,s get nothin back ,the person sellin the item or items should not be able to sell again unless they can come up with an explanation why they have not sent it or proove they have n its genuinely missin in transit .obviously im not the only person on here thats been tucked up,n find it annoyin. we all love our rados n when most of us havent got money fallin out of our ar##holes its a real pain payin for the same item twice over,i got my grill from someone else in the end but as i say it cost me double :( sorry for the rant.

nice lookin vr mate cant wait to get mine in the spray shop ,out of interest how much did it cost you?

thanksguys nice to have feedback got stuff on ebay for sale so hopein to raise the rest of the dough soon :) .......any one got an interior for bout a tenner :lol:
