Massbads GX - Up for sale again £2100

Sell it and buy a 3 door Gti! 

Also there is only 2 people that could pull that sticker off. 
Richyhill and Smudger… Not because there cool but because they both like a bit of sausage 

I prefer bacon  

Cars at the garage and should get it back tomorrow.

Service, timing belt, gaskets and tracking.

A wee stamp in the book to prove work done and jobs a good un :-)

Will def need to do the gear linkage through the winter as its way to sloppy  

My mk4 that's going to my son for his 1st car early next year, is going in the garage when I pick the GX up as the brakes feel weird ?

They will keep it for a week and when I drop my Sportline of to the garage next Friday, I can drive away in the mk4, result BUT 3 garage bills to pay in 8 days  

So picked the GX up and its healthy. The only thing that needs done is the coolant which I am obviously changing when I do the full coolant system change.

Both sump and rocker rubber gaskets fitted, new rocker, chromed straps and chromed nuts put on.

Fan belt changed.

Timing belt and tensioner done.

Full service carried out and full inspection.









I think I will replace the sump when the car goes back for its mot in October.

Unbelievable mileage Chris. She's getting there. Lovely original car

Which one are you going to bring to the AGM

or is it both??

Nice one by the way Chris, glad its finally coming together…

Sportline to the AGM as it deserves to go to at least one :-)

Thanks lads, it is coming together nicely now after a rocky start.

Its amazing what a couple of months does !!

Next big thing is bumpers from Funk and quote for paint when I get a chance.

Busy summer ahead though as on hols in France  for 2 weeks in 3 weeks time, then AGM then 8 weeks of 6 x 10 hr shifts, then another weeks hol in Turkey and its then mid October :-(

Nice work Chris - well done for hanging in and persevering with this one, it's been worth it I reckon  

Electronic points have arrived for fitting at some point.

How neat is that !!
The purest would never know and the engine will love you for it !!

Went through the paperwork.

Great you've stuck with this.

Where you getting your paint quote Chris?
Brian at the Hawes Garage will do a brilliant job for you.

Wow that's an impressive service and mileage history list.  

Glad you kept it and stuck at it…  

Hi

I use Hawes garage for all 3 of my VW's and get great service and prices from them but I don't think I would use Brian unless u know better ?

I was going to go to a restorer in East Lothian called PrestigeCarBodies and get a quote.

Do u recommend anyone ?

Chris

Cheers Hugh, I'm just looking forward to getting it show worthy after paint and bumpers.

I've know Brian through football for over 17 years. He's a top bloke. And everyone I've known who have used him have always said he has delivered a very very good job. You should maybe speak to him and tell him what you want. He's a genuine guy.

New strut top caps, a few carpet clips and a strap for the jack.
