meet bajjer :)

[matty j]

right as you probably all know ive been looking again as always and luckily i found a cracking little 5 that i plan to keep for some good time

so firstly piccies


inside



drivers side



front without grille



and back home from camberidge after collecting from Graham (nice chap




Plans moving forward are:

firstly new grille
fuel pump as it kicks over straight away but then dies
indicators front
seats

Moving forward
i will be sourcing inner and outer sills anf having them re - done
bodywork is good but needs alittle tlc so all rusty bits removed and sprayed up and a good machine polish (anyone local with a polisher )

long term engine out and bay tidied up underneath wax oiled
and obviously making some meets

will update as i progress

[BabybluGTT]

Very nice mate, good bargain! She does look a cracker

[matty j]

cheers buddy cant wait to actually drive it

[Purple_rob]

Ive seen this one in person. Went up to Grahams and had the interior from it.

Looked in good condition and I guess he just didn't go any further with breaking it.

I'll be watching the thread with interest

Hate to say it but the missing grill and indicators.... My fault

[gimme5]

I was second owner when i bought it of a gay nurse 15yrs ago,could of got
cheaper if i showed abit of flesh

I sold my metro turbo and bought the 5 for £2600 with only one owner and bog standard with 38000mls, it was a big step up (well anything is from a metro)

will be looking forward to watching this thread

[matty j]

[Chris Beer]

More pictures / update needed. Love this car man

[dangerous dave]

biggs??

biggs was a rtoc hero back in the day, he bought new and paid all the money and sold cheap to all the rtoc members.. this isn't his old car, i think marky b's missus had the car and it moved on.. it was spec'd to feck, had everything and wanted for nothing..

[matty j]

Sounds the perfect plan dude

[matty j]

upsetting news today the budget i had set aside has been wiped out due to the extensive rust underneath

pics





however i will carry on with it may just have to do a side at a time with the new added cost

she will be road worthy soon tho trust me

[matty j]

ow and work now needed
A pillers both sides
inner and outer sills
floor panels both sides
jacking points
rear bumper mounts
totalling around £800 including materials which is a good price i think looking at the extensive corrosion

[BluntyR5GTT]

dont lose the faith matey keep at it

also i cant stress enough how important it is to underseal your car once or twice a year, i normally do mine start of winter and start of summer

[matty j]

[BluntyR5GTT]

[djinuk]

plenty to go at there dude..

ill be honest im very very happy i didnt take this car when you offered it me now . But either way, do the shopping for the bodyshop buying the panels etc, and let them get busy.

[matty j]

I'm using the guy I used before he's a good lad and knows fives very well

good stuff, just make sure it goes to a bodyshop and not a garage.. as the standards of welding between the two are usually very diffrent.

[matty j]

He's defo a Bodyshop

[Danboi2]

as i found out when my local garage tried to fix my jacking point was like sticky plaster welds as the guy said whos replacing them now said! they also butchered abit of the floor aswell

[matty j]

Plus the Bodyshop rang me to tell me to pop over to show me before they started which is good and honest

[matty j]

well the repair is on the way nicely
im hoping to have it all ready for FCS

[matty j]

stiil in the shop
however ive downsized from my 1 series m sport to a 1996 golf estate tdi so have more fundage to finish it off to a better spec plus play with the golf also

[Chris Beer]

[matty j]
