Purchased for less than a round of drinks, this poor old mk4 was owned by a MOT tester and used as a courtsey car. Sadly it's been parked under a tree since 2010 after the chap was closed down by the council.
To say it's rare is an understatment, the 1.8 where the worst selling mk4 of the mk4's in the 90's being a 2 door estate and not a combi van
not many pics as digi cam died and phone came is pants..
As it arrived
Tin worm
Thankfully, the underside, front end and roof are mint so once the rot is replaced half the battles done
Jobs done so far include, fitting 2 new doors, sourcing new panels and service items. Hopefully a new tailgate will be sorted soon and then she'll be back water tight.
Plans are simply to repair and use, a combat paint job, a bare interior and a few other bits will turn it into a tool carrier.
