    Cool rubbing back a mk2

    ok, i've been having mental battles with myself about the fact of me have two projects now that i have the jetta and have even contemplated selling the jetta again but i cant bring myself to doing that . . .

    SO, i'd really like to do a john (golfer) and have the vwjet rubbed back, rust free'd, repaired and sprayed!

    so firstly, is it going to cost me an arm and a leg?!

    Does any brisbanites have any panel shop recomendations?

    and what are the "rust problem" areas' on mk2's?


    A BIG THANKS TOO ALL THAT HELP! . . . . . . . . . . . . . Alex

    Judging from what ive seen in the old golfs and passats which are similar im guessing the main rust areas on a oldie golf would be the floor, doors, around the boot, bonnet.

    I haven't seen too many rusty Mk2, Mk2 panel are wax injected, it has got much better rust protection than Mk1. Pull out a small section of carpet in front passenger and driver to check, usually problem starts there cos water can trap there easily. at the end its your car, you should be able to see where are the rust
