It's less than used one go for on the 'bay. What's not to love? I may be buying another car as well, but it's all hush hush until it happens, if it does
That's where it's going It's the right one for your car as well! Unfortunately you do need all the loom and switch gear. I'm not sure if they do a CE2 fusebox one tbh.
Are parts now becoming a ball-ache for these as well as the Audi's?
I had an 8V back in the day, loved it and have been tempted lately to maybe get another as a daily.
The pictures with the new camera show the paint off far better. Nice work.
Thanks...

Yes and No - Yes Cos VAG keep dropping stuff - No Cos VAG have seen that their is a massive following for these cars, so are now remaking stuff and selling through VW Classic in Germany ( Not Cheap Mind!!).
Also with there being over 6 million worldwide there is always one getting broken somewhere & loads of Patten parts (Most of which are Crap) - Mechanical parts are 10 a penny... Body parts are the worst to get hold of...
Spent the last two nights messing with my old girl.... Got fed up fixing other peeps cars - mainly my sons as he has done a big bumper conversion with side trims & replaced his rocker cover gasket etc etc etc....
Rear Turrets now overlaid with the earlier Carpet Covers from a Valver That I'm breaking at the mo... Nothing major I just think they look better & I was upgrading the parcel shelves with better ones so made sense to do it all at once....
Whilst doing this I noted that Stevie Wonder had wired in the Amp - so decided to tidy it up and put it where the OEM Loom is - Under the carpet properly... But then had the notion to do what Mr Blue suggested with hiding the Amp behind the rear Door card... So thought I'll have a bash...
Door Card Off...
Amp Bracket;
Amp On Bracket;
Bracket Fitted;
Door Card Refitted - PITA...;
Rear Seat Fitted;
Seat Bolts Fitted;
Also over the last few months I have been replacing all the switches with Brand New ones - along with new stalks...
All Frigging Expensive Mind You!!
This is how they must have looked when the cars left the factory - Minus the VDO's...
Had the roof painted along with the bumpers and the tailgate handle - all parts that weren't done when the original respray was done - due to the costs & lack of cash flow...
I've used a different firm this time - But the work look's excellent - Lets see how it lasts!!
