Thought I'd post some pics of my Loop from how it looked when I got it to how it looks now.

Had a whack in the N/S/R. Also the tail gate and N/S door had took a tap too! Only had 21k on the clock and full VAG service history!

N/S of the rear beam was bent giving an impressive camber to that side's wheel!

Quick trip to local scrappy for the door, tail gate and rear beam. Genuine N/S/R quarter panel was found on ebay and bought for £75 including delivery!!! :D

Painted, set of Weitec coilovers and a bargain set of 15X7 Intra alloys For £100 with nearly new tyres from a lad on the local VW forum and she's there for now.

Just need to sort my sounds in it. Hoping to sort some 14s or 13s for it and go lower too. Loving it already. Better on fuel than my old mk2 and cheaper to insure! Just what I wanted so I can afford to go nuts with my mk1 Polo!

Good effort dude! I don't think I could ever be arsed to repair something that far gone!

Should feel proud you've saved a Loop :D:lol:

Agreed! That was alot of work that needed doing!

Hats of to you man! You have done a great job!

I would love to find a project car like that and be able to have the time and money to rebuild it!

Top job!

Thanks everyone. Couldn't have done it without my Dad tho! He's the bodywork pro. I've got to teach myself next time with my mk1 Polo which fortunately ain't anywhere near as bad as what this was lol! :)

Really p-ed off as best little car I've owned. Running around in a mint Volvo 340 slammed on the G60s for the moment while I finish my Mk1 Polo but decided I will get another Loop! If the MIB don't pay out I'll break her up for spares.
