Hey! thanks for that!!! Been busy trying to patch my daughters cabrio back together after her christmas eve T bone job. Unfortunately the front is twisted too much so it looks like it might be a write off. I have been working on getting back on the road but the time might have come to switch off the machines..... Let the insurance company handle it. I will by it back if I can.......
Bloody shame as GLI cabrios dont come along everyday.




Tell you what, I will go up to the block on monday and work out a wish list for gunter!!!!
Sorry for the tardiness blokes!!! And thanks for pushing, once again!!!

Ouch.
Hard to tell from the photos - are the rails out of wack?
If the wheel took the impact, wouldn't have been pretty...

BTW, keep us posted on brackies B&B in April.
I'm planning another quick visit around then..

Hi I an, the actual cast hub bearing carrier was bent beyond belief!! couldnt rotate the wheel at all as it was hard up against the strut
the front has moved up and accross 1.5 inches. lucky she didnt get hit another metre back. Would have been a very different christmas.
was a bit different anyway.
Anyway, got to get to gunter now.....
We will organise the targa weekend very soon mate. Cheers and a happy 2007 to you! Andrew

The Cabrio is surely fixable, just lots of work.
Make sure you buy it back if it ends up as an insurance job.

Let us know about the Gunter ressurection too.

Thanks loon, will be in touch mate, and hope 2007 is good for you mate

Ugh - thanks Andrew.
Sounds ugly

I agree with Matt that scapping it is a shame, but fixing it does sound a challenge - welding a new new front end on not an option?

Glad for the sake of your daughter that the Golf did make the (likely) ultimate sacrifice though.

Hope that 2007 is kinder to the Robinson household

I really think that the insurance company will write it off. My intention is to buy it back and repair it. I have a complet front end sitting in the shed, from the seats forward but I would prefer to straight it. It does have a bit of rust in the rhf which will get repaired in time. Cheers, Andrew
