...growing older, no longer "The Animal".
Looks cleaner without the stickers. But it's your car and stickers are easy to remove/change

Nice pic of the burger but what do the rear wheels look like in the arches

I've never used them but B&B on ebay is like Amazon Prime. 😀

Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: Prices of everything

Ah the perils of buying and selling! Recently used eBay to sell a caravan. Honest ad saying it had damp. Bidding went silly and as it transpired the winner cancelled. Offered for second chance and one person wanted to lower his offer. I decided he wasn't having it on principle! Readvertised bidding when high again. Did a whatsapp viewing to the eventual winner prior to his highest bid He said he was buying it to put the fittings in a van then never turned-up. The person who actually bought it was the only one who viewed it and I sold it to him for a lower price than his bid.
There's seem to be people out there just trying to bid prices up for the fun of it!

Hi Tim. It has  bit more Vroom than that..
120bhp for the 1.6

Parkers

I'm not convinced the barn doors are practical. Nor the LHD rear door. I agree they are nice. However I'm not sure they are as reliable as a MK2 😀

My ignition barrel was worn so I took it to Harrolds in Sheffield who rebuilt it for me. Cost about £30.

A good tip Ian. Bearing in mind You, Monkey and I all needed one last year!
It's annoying/awkward when they fail.

What did you use for the water bottle? A dishwasher tablet in a bucket of hot water did wonders for mine.

For the radiator you’re better off buying new.

Agreed. Make sure you get the correct size otherwise you'll need to change the hoses etc.
Prices on ebay vary quite a lot for the same make so check you don't pay too much.
