    SOME CONCERNING RUST ON THE BOOT(the middle photo is the worst as below the bottom left of the taillight is more frame rust than just surface rust..)

    Looks like the front engine mount bracket has ripped. It does happen, ask Sean. That would be a mad clunking noise.

    The rust at the back looks mostly surface, but lots worse than a year ago. Has she been sitting in the weather? Under a tree?

    Have yo got the front bumper off the car?? It looks like its not there in the one pic?

    the crow flies... im about 60metres from the ocean.. but theres a big wall between it.

    the bumper is on.. just that little black plastic bit that runs along the bottom.. it was scraping alot and was falling off.

    so this rip.. is it gonna need welding or just another bracket mounted underneath?

    Ha! Familiar sight!

    Make sure that the front motor mount is the right one...

    They could probably have been designed a lot better...but that will definitely be the cause of mad vibration and clunking noises...mine did that when i broke the 8v front mount, since replaced with the right 16v front mount!

    get the wire brush into that dust before it becomes really bad! Rust spreads quick, so you haveto be quicker!!

    so i should be able to scratch most of it off? sweet.
    the rust below the left taillight is my biggest concern as it looks like its frame rust and not surface rust like the rest..

    mollins, do you have a pully type thing to lift the engine? out of beer yet?

    holy F**K.

    we have an engine crane etc.... but im heaps busy, away all weekend..... perhaps moday arvo. at hte moment, i can think of one real solution, which would involve me bringing my stick welder over and jack, temporarily welding that bracket back together so we can take it to where the tools are.

    dead set, im totally with loon now. this car is cursed.

    mollins is out yonder west so he'll probly not even know about htis, haha.

    i'll try to let you know what happens this weekend. if i happen to be free on friday morning, might be able to do a patch up then.

    cheers

    Shall I just send you blokes up an engine mount bracket?

    She is cursed, maybe you should tip it in the harbour.

    nup, it'll cost me about 50% in premiums..and would only be able to insure it for about 3k not worth it..
    i cant even remember if i ended up getting 3rd party insurance.. thinking i only got the compulsory one..

    soooo in 2 minds what to do.. sell it for f#@kall all get a mk3 (or pete's mk2 gti) or bite it and throw heaps at it making it more reliable..

    whenever your free ayden.. i'll make myself available. im working 10-7 tomorrow(friday) and 'supposed' to be working allllllll of saturday. sunday off.
    i get my roster today or tomorrow for next week starting monday.
