Sounds like a job for the "TOAF" crew lol!!!

Now kids, you're going to need a washing up liquid bottle, some toilet roll holders, some strips of crepe paper a knackered broom and some glue..... Please ask an adult for help when glueing these together!!!
That is a blinding repair surgeon, just the ticket!

Not as hi tech as you fellas but after a few attempts with super glue and epoxy resin didn't work, cable ties and duct tape to the rescue!!

Your experience of the car(ups and downs)Owned it for 8 years, stripped it, built it and repeated a couple of times but it improves on every occasion. It's burnt me, cut me, broke me and nearly caused divorce. N/A'd, supercharged, turbo'd 12v and now turbo 24v. Labour of love some say but truth is I'm just addicted to it and never run out of stuff to do to it. Just an old Golf though to most!
Here are two links to some videos of gethin's car. If you search you will find an epic one of the blowout. Happy hunting!

previously owned. - Clio sport ph2 , impreza uk turbo, Golf mk2 driver, Golf mk3 Gti 16v, Golf mk1 1.8 Karmann clipper.
What got you into Dubs -  I think the whole scene seemed more friendly and more supportive than other marques, then at my first show weekend meeting other VR6 owners who had been part of the club for many years, and seeing so many amazing modified cars.
Best feature on your car? - Its a tough one as in the past 3-6 months the whole car has transformed due to different modifications, but it has to be the engine swap, I can't accelerate without having a massive grin plastered over my face, I don't think I'll ever get bored of the noise! This is closely followed by the new interior, and the number plate!
Future Modifications - Eibach or H&R anti roll bar kit, Schrick Cams, full re-spray, uprated Fuel pump, maybe a charger or turbo... I don't think I'll ever run out of things to do!
Favourite other members car - Its difficult to pinpoint just one as there are lots of cars in the club I really like for different reasons and good to see the evolving work going into them whether its an oem example or big power show car but if I had to pick it would be Gethins mk3 24v (VIW 28)

Your experience of the car (ups and downs)
 
the downs consist of basically every MOT (as with most older cars!) there's normally a problem that is a total pain to sort out, but the downs are definitely outweighed by the ups, I love my car, and get so much enjoyment out of cleaning it, driving it and getting it to a show!!

Mine for an MOT the morra
