H3NRY Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Had this for about 3 weeks. It's my only car and will see a fair bit of the road (400m a week). It's already very solid body-wise and mechanically. Sold as unwarranted 70k miles but its 100% believable - just no concrete proof as very little history. Mods I know about are: Full re-spray (no rust, no fade, very high standard)KONI fully adjustable coilovers.Magnex stainless exhaust.VW Sebring Alloys (tatty) Plans are to clean it lots, service it lots, fix all the niggles and keep it timeless. (Sorry about the Clio) I'll try to post any major updates, but I'm not good at documenting every little thing. I've already re-attatched a driveshaft as it was put in finger-tight by some moron, had an alignment done, replaced a coolant hose and replaced the bulbs in the clocks (yawn). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidelliott294 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 If you are worried the mileage isn't right you can check up online on the direct.gov website. Get your V5 and then search google for MOT history check (the direct.gov) one. You can check all the MOT history there and each MOT the mileage is recorded and inputted onto this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, the seller did this and it all checks out. He didn't take this as concrete proof though as it's not been on the road all its life by the looks of it. Im certain it is - you just have to look at the interior to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3NRY Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Washed the car and fitted a NOS rear badge that my dad thought would 'come in handy' back in the 80s when he worked for VW. My alternator belt is also 30 year old NOS. Went to the scrapyard and picked up these polished inserts too. Paint looks nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3NRY Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Picked up the bolts from chrome plating. Bolted and sealed a wheel together and plonked it in front of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3NRY Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Got this. And these. Did this. Perfect with 195/45/15.Only a test fit, may lower the front a bit and camber the wheels in very slightly to guarantee no rubbing.Head gasket is gone ATM so booked in for fixing on the 3rd.
