VR6 vs roundabout vs Cooper S = NOT GOOD !!!

[vr-koj 0]

Needless to say I'm well gutted as the rest of the car is fine. To expensive to repair so goin on ebay for spares / donor conversion jobbie. Dont have tools, skills or garage else would have stripped it and sold off parts . VERY expensive lesson. Will start another thread soon in For Sale section with details of recent upgraded goodies for anyone interested in the car or number plate.....

Shockin, not even lasted one year as a club member too ;( ;( ;(

Thanks rodders, think I might take you up on the help thing. I'm stuck as insurers werent 'up to date' with the mods I'll pm later n see if we can formulate a plan. Gutted aint the word !!

Hey craggsy, sadly I BLEW my budget fixing her up in october. I'll be without wheels for about 12 months, need to save up all over again. Insurance payout not happening so she s up for sale, might get a van with the proceeds...

[craggsy 91]

Hang around tho kidda, always welcome on the forum

Thanks for the support guys, ref the mk2 conversion I would love to but finances say otherwise. In an ideal world I'd declare it off road until I can afford to fix it or dump the lot in a 1990s sirrocco 8o| but dont have a garage so thats not happening :-(

Strange question but could one of the mods please tell me if raffles are permitted on the club forum ????!!!

lmao !! that mk2 is ridiculously tempting but whats the going rate for a transplant into something like that ??!! I would have stick it on a 6 month payment plan or something !! Any ideas on a local garage / storage ?

[rodney 17]

Not sure on the going rate... PM Sparkz and Tony... As the mk2 is basically ready the transplant is "Just a weekend to drop it in" Then all you have to do is pop your seats in..

Simples...
