May change the wheels.

Gonna need a new drivers door i reckon, and maybe a new wing. The underside is good, so its just a bit of a tidy up on the body. The roof is good and dont seem to be leaking so its not too bad all in all.

What you all reckon its worth as is?

looks as thou someone already started the body what with the diffrent colour panels, it looks fairly straight, fresh paint will do the world of good!

hard to say mate, does she have any tax and test? how much did you pay for her?

Yea it is a plastic one, and the one on the mk4 is glass.

May swap them then.

Put the new alternator belt on today. The bloke i bought it off said the battery light was always on whenever he drove it, when i looked, the alternator belt had broken.

Swpped that this morning, and no more battery light. Jobs a good'un
