The white car is mostly original paint. The previous owner received a 4wd to the drivers door. It was replaced under insurance and they painted the whole side of the car which is unfortunate. Its very clean and very straight. It will probably get the GTI replica but with a 1.6TD motor and GTD badges. The missing piece is a wolfsburg steering wheel.
The main issue with the orange car is the roof has been pushed in. The skin has lost tension and is all wavey. I'll tear the headlining out (its already torn) and see how much i can push it out, hopefully i'll get a good result but then theres the headlining to replace...... Im thinking a rough and ready race car....... Ideally a twin dcoe config with gti/cabrio swaybars and brakes. Sound like fun?
I have a big shed (7.5x18m) with a big carport so I can do the things that I have wanted to for years. We have 8, a beige 1.6TD daily, a red 1.5D that will be for sale soon, the blue, orange and white cars, another red GLD that is donating parts, a yellow GLS that will be for sale soon and a white LS that I'm picking up next week from a mate at work. I made an offer on the LS on ebay too but he knocked it back.
I've got a handle on it, i can stop any time i want!
