I wanted to originally buy a super clean late model Cabrio and put a PD 130 ASZ 1.9 tdi engine and put my alloys on and then this car came along and I couldnt refuse it so I began the long trek to Cambridgeshire from Yorkshire to buy and collect it.
now I have it in my possession I now know what this car needs to be presentable and drivable
bad points are as follows:
- clutch slipping (new clutch)
- both front wheel bearings (noisy)
- heater motor not working (came with a new one just fitted)
- wiper mechanism seized on one spindle and motor burnt out (should i replace or repair?)
- scuttle panel needs section repair
- drivers door needs replacing due to poor repair to handle area
- bootlid needs replacing (rust)
- grey carpet loose (going to try fit it back up to sills)
- n/s/r quarter needs rust treatment just under the hood (see pic)
- coilovers
- fully working electric hood and windows
- original interior in fair condition

I also took the passenger seat out to see if a big red paint stain would come out, which it did surprisingly.
I am going to take out the carpet and seats and hire a carpet cleaner to clean them all next week
Plus the clutch is now done it seemed like the gearbox seal let go over the previously installed clutch! new one cost £75 plus £75 fitting so its just the wheel bearings wiper mechanism/motor to sort so its reliable
Does anyone know the best way to cure this? its the main part im struggling with
