anyone remember this?

i got off lightly that time, eggs and flour.

was down at my new unit tonight, painting the walls and floor, come out afterwards and find paint stripper or brake fluid all over my bonnet, door and wing.

after this sunday's meet i'm going to stick it in the unit and start stripping it. i was going to start after the summer but this has really annoyed me now, so i might as well get on tinkering with it.

wasn't going to take my car out tonight, but i wanted to show it to the lad in the next garage (he's building a mk1). wish i hadn't now

That's not right! Somebody don't like you out there to do something like that! and its a tool women like to use to get back at blokes!! :evil:

Can you claim on your Insurance?

there are times when you really wish you could fit a shot gun sercuity system to your car this is one of them.

the utter bas%%$d's that whould do that to any car they deserve to be shot.

scum.

insurance is a big no no dan, i'm 18. i am already paying 2000 a year on it and it is a 1.3.

i'm just going to start stripping her (oooh )

got big plans, i was giving myself a crazy deadline to do it, (10 months). no point rushing it, so i might as well get cracking now, got 18 months til i want it to be finished so that sounds like a better bet

What have you done? Surely you can think of something you've done to someone?

Really sorry to hear that, mate. I've always liked your car (in a non-homo way, of course) and it's completely s*** that someone could do that.

I suppose it's not that big a consolation but at least it happened when you weren't finished putting it back together.

Not one to capitolise on other people's misfortune but I will, of course, be expecting a huge build thread. That is of course if you don't want to surprise us. :wink:

Really feel sorry for you John   , probably the Nova driving burberry brigade .

cheers guys, the unit is a few miles from my house, can't think of anyone down there it could be

don't worry dave, there will be pics a plenty. probably starting sunday afternoon/evening?  :dontknow:

I wish i could get mi hands on them.
if there is one thing i hate its pointless things like this, when my hood got slashed i was not a happy bunny but at lease there was motive as id left 2 Berghaus jacket on the back seat :doh:
its like the tool that came down our street the other night and smashed every wing mirror, well tried to smash them the daughters Polo got done but the mirror on the A4 just bent back
hope you get it sorted mate if you need a good sprayer my mate does a good job but could be to far for you to travel though.

cheers andy, but sunday is the last time most of you will see the mk1 (in the flesh) for about 18 months!

Mmmm, blue. 8)

That sucks. Some idiot slashed my mohair roof on my Rivage about 10cm - less than a month after it had been replaced. I managed to get it repaired through of friend of someone I knew - ?15 and a really decent fix, but it was still like a little scar that you could see close up.

Here's a runaround…well, it might not actually run, but its cheap…

that's great, i don't think i've ever seen such an honest car ad!

What a low blow to do that to a cool car! I would rather have someone knock seven shades of s*** out of me that touch the car!!

Someone slashed my roof broke my lock and smashed the window on my cabby once to steal a george forman grille and my xxl fleece out the boot, ive been looking for a skinny bloke in a big coat ever since!!

Gutted for you mate i really am.

carnt beleave this,i thought wrexham was bad!!!
really gutted for you mate
what i would do is just find out who it was and beat the shit out of them really bad

Are you keeping the colour the same or changing it during the resto?

Just thinkin if it is someone taking revenge if the colour was changed maybe they wouldnt recognise it???

colour will be remaining the same, i think it was just a spur of the moment jealousy thing

not suprised car does look good! - you going to start a resto thread to keep us up to date?

cheers mate, resto thread should be starting sunday! 7 months earlier than planned  :roll:
