VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Nice mate. What plans have you got for it then? Link to post Share on other sites
Pepper 3 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Its a five door that I should be getting. Just keeping my fingers crossed that the lad will part with it next month!It's currently owned by a mechanic, has had plenty of work done to it to make it look prettier / resolve any issuues. and there are just a few more things needed to be done so it will be back on the road again (been off for three years as a project/do it upper). I would just need to get the paintwork sorted out.Normally I wouldnt touch a car thats a do-it-upper but I trust the lad and his father-in-law. Having seen the care and quality that has gone in to fixing him up, I know it will be a safe one to buy.Well, the rep of VW and my previous experiences of VW's goes a long way too.(If the current owner is a member here: im sorry you are reading about this while on holiday!)
