VR6Steve 0 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Is it worth booking it in to a bodyshop and having it checked on a jig???? I assume that would tell you if it is really twisted. Link to post Share on other sites
Ciaran 4 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 im considering this aswell as my car seems to be rusting from the inside out. are the arches etc the same on all golfs????wouldn't be that big a job pretty straight forward realy did it with a swift gti years ago and took about a weeks solid work but cost nothing bar replacing any rusty parts Link to post Share on other sites
simey 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Sounds alot of work to re-shell, the best idea is to sell the car to me!! Just PM, cash waiting Link to post Share on other sites
Ciaran 4 Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 not selling sorry have to many parts to fit and see what like she is after they are fitted!! Link to post Share on other sites
