A right write off
Posted: Sun Jan 29, 2017 12:47 am
Just a little pictorial on my write off rebuild .
Bought this 54 plate auto TDi B5.5 I think you call it , off a mate for 150 quid.
It's done 94k miles ish and had o/s front shunt. Wonky wheels , scrunched wing and bumper plastics.
Didn't think to take a pic of the scrunchy bits but here's a quick look at what was left
It came with the wing , fitted here.
I got a s/h leg and top arms from the scrappy and got that lot fitted and wheels point in the same direction again
Slam panel was recoverable but as there was one at the scrappy I had that too
Much fiddling with auto cooler pipes, cables, hoses and loom eventually got me to the point where it looks nearly like a car again
Hope to get all the fluids sorted tomorrow and then see if it actually drives ok
