[ATK 140 1 Cars]

Ordered a fan rheostat as my blowers have gone!

Helped my mate Anton chop more bits out of Puglet, then get most of it welded back up, the end is in sight!!

My gearbox mount arrived today, hopefully fit it at the weekend. That's every single rubber bush/mount renewed on the whole of the 1.6 now. Should feel virginal when I finally get it back on the road.

That door handle looks after market

B&Q's finest I would think, possibly 24 carrot in design, not going to speculate ?

At least it missed the boot.......

I'd of preferred it to have destroyed the boot rather than the rear quarter

How do you fix that?

[acox99 74 1 Cars]

True, no damage is nice. Can it be pulled out, or is it a new quarter?

[allanallen 528 2 Cars]

Not started it yet. Chatting with my mate though, we're gonna weld some bolts to the corner and pull it whilst tapping the creases. He rekons it'll come out something like, I'm sceptical

 

As long as it holds the tail light and looks roughly 205 shaped I'll be happy. The car's a tool for a job, doesn't need to be pretty really.

[Tom Fenton 1,542]

I reckon it will come something like. Have you got a decent slide hammer?

[allanallen 528 2 Cars]

we're gonna try with one of them ratchet wire puller things, apply a constant pressure to it

[rallyeash 155]

Make it a swb....

[Matt Holley 11]

Took the cover off and fitted a replacement boot seal, then started it up for the first time since October.

 

It started first time!

Spent ages trying to remove the top suspension locknut to no avail :/ and spilt gearbox oil all over the garage floor.

topped it up, gave up with the locknut and rolled her back in the garage

[Shark506 2]

Had enough of the car & put up a for sale advert for it!!

[Simes 248 2 Cars]

Walked past it several times thought about the jobs I want to do.

Didn't have the time for any.

Might even drive it one day.

[Malc 45]

Went to start for first time after completing my low boost charged conversion, battery dead as a door nail, on charge overnight, lets see what happens tomorrow!!! I'm s*it scared, 100% reliable last year as a standard GTI6.

[stain 13]

Changed the steering wheel, indicator stalk and leccy window switches. Still trying to figure out why the boot jumps open when you shut the driver, or passenger door?!?

[eddie bullit 37]

Got her out of the garage for the first time this year..started first time as well! Gonna take her out tomorrow and give her a wash then assess where to start after easter. This is when I plan to start a bit of a restoration on her.
