Sainty Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) I bought this mk2 arosa for £500 except it had a gearbox problem After we just about managed to get it home we decided to strip the gearbox We found out that it was the 5th gear needle roller bearing that had broke This is what it should look like This is what it actually looked like Anyway bought myself a set of wheels but can't fit them yet till my spigot rings arrive Just got some AP coilovers on order and the car will be sent of to paint more photos coming when it's running again Edited November 23, 2013 by Sainty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
