1.6GL Cab solid as a rock!
car is currently in bits:
bumpers in back,
new roof frame with a cream vinyl roof which i *think* has a tear in it is sat on bonnet,
rear seats dont match fronts as the rear is original and the fronts are mk2 rocco ones,
all the side trims are in the boot and all the covers 4 the bbs's are in the boot along with the grille and lights etc.
To pass an MOT it needs
putting back together (obviously!!)
fuel and brake lines- only failed on 1 brake line but might aswell do the whole lot hey and the fuel line was advisory.
a wheel bearing (which ive got both rears bought im just too idle to do them!!and again was just an advisory i think.)
new exhaust - again it only failed on one section but its all prety grotty.(which ive got a stainless on that i'll chuck in with it)
needs a new drivers seatbelt as the clasp thats on it doesn't match the thing you clip it in to - looks like an aftermarket one to be honest,
the rear brakes are currently half way thru a refurb (new handbrake cables, cylinders, shoes, spring kit etc etc etc) but if i sold it id make sure they were done b4 the buyer came to collect her.
other bits
it needs an air box as the carb is open to the elements at the mo- its how i bought it!
nice scratch nown drivers side from garage wall - it matches the one on the tintop from my attempts to reverse it into a v small garage in the dark, it will t-cut out but i was planning on having it resprayed so i haven't bothered.
I am in the process of applying for a new V5C for her - the previous owner swore blind he had it and would give me it but it never materialised.
doesnt have any service history and the engine has done *cringe* 176k - I THINK- its about 5miles away so im not gonna check!! but it starts fine, and thers no smoke or owt- just sounds like a tractor boyracer cos of peppered exhaust and lack of airbox!!
I gave it a reet good service and before it came into my posession it had new plugs ad lumenition leads.
If i could i'd keep this car as it really wont take much to get it looking either presentable for a summer in standard yacky atlas grey colour or prepped ready for a new coat of something sexual (as were my plans when i bought it earlier this year) with v little effort.
I paid ?650 for it and have spent loads more on bits 4 it in preperation for the transformation. i'll be very sorry to see it go to be honest. just make a me a decent offer and its yours.
07793547065 im available on that number most of the time, i don't get on here v often but will make a concerted effort.
{edit} oh yes its on a private plate too which has been valued at ?900!!{end edit}
other than that here are some pics of it.
this is how it looked when she moved house about a month ago to a new garage, I got a few strange looks driving it across a busy town centre with no roof and on trade plates!!
how it looked when I collected it:
ignoring the man who looks like he's squatting to do something other than help with my car, you can see thers no rust at all under where the decidedly skanky original roof was:

Tried to get in touch with you via the DemonVW site but the forum seem to have crashed - I have passed your number to a lad called Rob from York.
Cheers Rob (another one!) from York.
