    Hi mate, I have just bought a new one off eBay so you can have my old one if you want it, It's in average condition £10 posted, let me know. Daren .
  3. Welcome, Black, the best colour! Pics please :)
  4. Rustynuts, they certainly are a car that once you have owned they are hard to let go of. By the sound of it you will be back in one some day :thumbleft:
  5. Would be nice to have you back Bill :)
  6. Hi Rob , yes,didn't stay away long! Might see you at Bristol V'fest again this year?
  7. Popped into the body shop today to see hoe things are coming along, its going well & will soon be ready for paint, and then I can get it all back together and rescue it from this sorry looking state ! They assured me also that the car has never had any paint repairs before which is quite nice to know.8)
  8. Crikey Ben ! that's a right mess ! Good luck with getting it sorted. It will be worth the effort 8)
  9. Good colour choice, Black :thumbleft: Good luck with you search. Your Mr2 must be interesting with 225bhp ? I drove an imported supercharged version a few years back.Good fun, if a bit hairy
  10. Nice healthy figures there Sean, I would be happy with them. Mines in the paint shop now, maybe I can get to the next R.R day 8)
  11. Welcome along, nice part of the world you are from :)
  12. Bonkers ! I was offered some a year ago for £60 , which seemed acceptable until I discovered it was second hand and had been peeled off the car !! Glad the foam's ok on my current car , Pity about the roof trims though
  13. I quite like it, reminds me of this (apart from the front end)!https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=746769962056037
  14. Welcome along ! Looks like you are at a similar stage to me, mines about to go in for paint. Suspension refurb planned for later in the year.:)
  15. M190 TCF,blue vr, just spotted driving through Horndean, seen it a few times. Looks nice but needs a clean!
  16. Yes,for sure. Hope to be at Stanford hall & Ccgb national day
  17. No, the engine seems very sweet so will leave it well alone. If I still have the enthusiasm then next winter will be detailing & re- furbing engine/suspension etc.
  18. I hope so ! My body shop knows what I will be expecting with the finish !
  19. I am having some dent removal done, and have removed all the interior trims and wheel arch trims to allow this, but it will still need paint, especially as the bumper & bonnet are a bit stone chipped. I think it makes sense to get all the paint sorted from day 1, rather than do just some of the panels, & possibly regret it later.
  20. Will be keeping it standard for now Chris, and see how I like it. The paint work is good, it's just the small car park dinks which let it down, they don't show in the photo's.
  21. So, work has been very busy but I have found time here & there to strip down ready for the body shop visit hopefully at the end of this month. Also have sorted out the sunroof after too many £'s and frustration. Ended up with new cable kit, a new guide/runner part which I was led to believe might be obsolete By VW, but suddenly /thankfully arrived one morning & a second hand motor which fortunately I had spare. Finished stripping today, at home and gave a final blast with the jetwash to get rid of any more dirt from behind the bumpers & wheel arches etc. The parts shopping list is getting ever bigger ! I have quite enjoyed the work even so, as the car is so original many of the parts I have removed have never been off before and it's nice to have all the screws & fixings present & correct, I have been careful to bag and label everything as it is removed. Managed to find a rear bumper from a local breakers as the original was not ideal for repair, The car is going to be getting a bottom half respray, with the rear windows coming out too. Next update will probably be from the bodyshop. This is how the car looks now. Can't wait to get it back together. 8)
