Here for sale is my 1995 Golf Cabby.
I brought this last October off ebay from a guy near Nantwich. The pictures looked great, and bid on the car and won.
It was dark when I collected it, but the next day when I saw it in the light, OMG.
It was disgusting and filthy and it needed a lot of work. Disgusted with what I'd bought I covered it and waited for winter to be over and then started on it. This is what I did to get it into a resonable state.
New 12 Months MOT.
Milage 89945.
Lots of paperwork for work done and it had a new mohair roof 3 or 4 years back.
Will add pics of this paperwork soon.
There are links to my google drive which show all photos from start to finish
