GIXXERUK 0 Posted March 7, 2005 woah thats your weekends covered, nice pic , without the front wing from that angle, the rear looks just like a mk2 golf ... ps. the wheels at the rear look a lot wider than the red ones at the front :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h100vw 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Dude, I had no idea it was in bad shape. :oops: I had to have the passenger side floor welded to get thru its second test. What was the damage due to? Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavin yes that makes sense gav as the whole o/s front end has been replaced at some piont in its life. It looks like it was carried out when it was relativley young in life though just a shame the repair wasn't 100%.. oh well it will all be good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Chuff , is it the floor that is worst? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rado-steve 0 Posted March 7, 2005 what have you got planned??? is it a special shell then or summat? otherwise why didn't you bin it and start over with a non rusty one..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted March 7, 2005 I see you have removed the scuttle tray Darren. Going for the smooth bay then? Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted March 7, 2005 'Just' a GTI G60, with a tilting sunroof. I would think it's as easy to fettle than swap over the tunnel and all the other GTI bits into another shell Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rado-steve 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Does the GTI G60 get the raised transmission tunnel too?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Aye mate, different roll bars, splits and all kinds of subtle bits n pieces. Tight wad Germans only fitted heated mirrors to that car and keep fit windows!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted March 7, 2005 what have you got planned??? is it a special shell then or summat? otherwise why didn't you bin it and start over with a non rusty one..... i must admit this was very nearly the case at one point last week but..... 1, I love this car. 2, Would feel i have let gav down if i scrapped it. 3, A fully welded in 10point roll cage. 4, Its a genuine lhd g60 shell with big transmission tunnel-bonded screen etc basiclly based on the us spec mk2 and alot stronger than a std mk2 shell. So she is getting a new lease of life just a little more work than we first thought... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
