As some of you know I got rid of the GLF saloon a while back
Bought another one recently,found by our own Mr Bickle,which initially was going to back on the road,however after much pokings and proddings its been deemed only good for breaking as its harbouring far too much rusty bits....
Then last week I happened upon this......
;D ;D ;D
A quick phone call and a train trip to derby the following friday evenin saw me drivin back to glos in torrential rain and gales.. It performed faultlesslly apart from nearly losin a wiper somewhere near solihull......
On closer inspection its very tidy,needs some work on the arches as to be expected on a 28 year old scooby,but after a service and some new brakes is provin great fun to drive!
see one now and again locally, keep trying to buy but wont sell. one day she will be mine somehow. its a White hatch, strangly with the more common brat single lights. still got my quads from my old glf somewhere though!
I've seen the car in the flesh & it's in really good shape for its age & I dropped off the repair panels that Pete ordered from a stockist near to my work on my way upto the NEC this morning!

Bumping for new pics and a hint for a move to readers rides, pretty please
Arches are not bad really, still need replacing but rust is contained to the edge. Sill closing needs work as does lower inner arch Seatbelt mount now on the floor Inner sill getting some love looking dodgy inner sill looks good here But not so good here back half off outer sill being tried Nice tight fit, also proof of commoner background not a royal despite my handsome good looks :p
tis always worse before it's better Most of it is old patchwork being removed :/ Cut it out, do it once, weld a patch over the top and do it again next year
A bit more progress Sunday eve and tonight after work. Sill now closed Inner arch regaining it's original depth Now looking backwards Oh crap Bead roller gets christened making mudflap mounting panel ;D
