Well I have decided to strip the 1.6 I bought last week, it's a no brainer setting as the wife's car needed some bits and pieces and I was shocked by the price of bits on eBay. A full car as a donor, especially being the same color was a bonus and for only £400
So after blackmailing her indoors I needed a full English breakfast before I started, and it was father's day I started late at 11.
Bits swapped over today are, aero wiper, 2 cup holders replaced, false floor out and fitted, spare wheel and mount done, alarm switch changed, leather steering wheel, handbrake cover and gear knob and gaiter changed and fog lamps striped out ready to fit.
Now time for a cuppa tea and relax, I have earned it.
Next week need to get the rest of the interior out and get it to the valeters, alloys dropped off to get powder coated then off with the panels.
Seems a shame as the engine and box are spot on but hey ho.
With a bit of luck and some time she will end up with a really good TDI for not a lot of money.
Keep smiling
