A right write off

Post by makeitfit »

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
Image
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 :mrgreen:
Image
Image
Slam panel was recoverable but as there was one at the scrappy I had that too
Image
Much fiddling with auto cooler pipes, cables, hoses and loom eventually got me to the point where it looks nearly like a car again :-c
Image
Hope to get all the fluids sorted tomorrow and then see if it actually drives ok 8-|
