vornwend 0 Posted July 26, 2011 Sounds like this paint work will make a big difference - is it the local place we spoke about?? Your work sounds exactly like what I need doing so will be v interested to see how it all comes out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted July 26, 2011 saw this at the weekend lovely storm, always wanted one in this colour, very jealous Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Yeh, seems like a good price. The PDR is only £35 for the whole car! Just have to get the cash saved now- about halfway there at the mo- need to get on Ebay! Jim, I guess it's actually not too far from you- especially if they do a really good job. Vaughan, yep, same place in Cromhall. Thanks Chris. It is nice- the interior especially so- not quite as nice as yours though! Hopefully when the paint is done, it'll be up to scratch ;) Edited July 26, 2011 by CazzaVR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted July 26, 2011 Bought it from DaveStorm, who's been on here and a club member for years. He had it for around 8 years and was the second owner. A couple of years ago, I told him to give me a shout if he ever had to sell up, and the rest is history 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Well took her in for the MOT today at my local VW specialist (Blake Services, Stroud). Passed with flying colours. Co2 emissions were just 0.01% 8) Couple of minor advisories: handbrake cable + front wishbone bushes. Well chuffed, especially with the emissions!

Nice one Andy - was that a natural or fast idle CO2 reading - I got 0.012% and 0.05% respectively - we should be getting a tax refund! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted August 3, 2011 It was the natural idle. Fast idle was 0.03% 8) We should definitely be getting a refund! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted August 4, 2011 Yeh, good job it did or you'd have been in trouble! :lol: The big day is fast approaching- what's the date again? All set? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted August 4, 2011 Forgot to say- also picked up my bonnet prop and rear bumper iron from the powder coaters. They look superb. Well worth doing the prop- it looks like new. Much cheaper than buying a new one for £40! So, next jobs are: Sort heater fan (completely packed up) Fit refurbished fuel tank straps (thanks Ian!) Fit refurbished bumper iron Remove seats/carpets for a deep clean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
