Hi Tim.
Does that mean you will be having Venison stew for the next 3 months :lol:
I hope you got out of the crash in one piece.
Cheers Mark.

thar i fix'd it!

but seriously, its back on the road again, after spending 150£
new rad is in, front is fairly straight again, bonet is a bit of thou, but it works :D
im going to weld up some of the rust thats on it this weekend, but just enough to get it through winter, since im most likely buying a new car next summer and this one is going in a garage so i can restore it, and do some tweeks

pics of the shabby work will be up tomorrow

Hi tim.
You do a great job in keeping that car on the road.
What year is it? It seems to have a mk3 bumper with mk2 wings :D
Cheers Mark.

thanks, im trying my best :D
you are correct, its an 84' mk2 with mk3 bumper and grill, because this is what i could get the quickest, crashed on monday and had all the parts and stuff i needed ti fix it on wednesday, and it cost me about 1800 kr for all (new rad from work, grill, bumper, bumper mounts, both the headlights)
still need to get the number plate away from the window and weld some rust under the window :)

some more lights is going on the car, preferably 4 on the roof and 2 more in the front, kinda scared about hitting anything more now :lol:

well, now im kind of doubting this car, it goes fine and nothing is wrong with the driving bit on this, but it got some huge holes thats rusted around some parts, like beneath the window at the right side (20-30 cm crack/hole), in the arches (both, one side its 15x15 cm hole), and i dont know if i want to go through the troubles of sanding down everything and welding it up again.. so right now im thinking that i should just wait untill after the winter and check how much of it thats left..
