That looks awesome, but holy cow what are you taking photos with?
List of motors now then Ginger?
What is the 535 lump in this gen? Loving the style 32's!
I've always liked this, but it does look like it needs a little TLC. How do they drive in general? They're getting a bit retro cool now..
Must admit, the thread's a little try hard. Could have just posted it up.
Only thing I can suggest is to find a local member with a polisher, they can be sanded down and brought back to life most probably. But it sounds like you've made a solid effort with regards to f**king them up.
If they key goes in and it's not damaged you might be OK. It could just be the locking mech attached to the barrell that's damaged and you can manage some kind of bodge to sort the issue once you've got a new door through?
Is the lock barrell from the old door still functioning? You've not made it clear if they broke this, or just jammed it out with a screwdriver?
If so, pretty simple, buy a door in the correct colour from any breakers you can find one in. (Renparts would be my first port of call).
Fit the new...
Get that tatty sticker off (it's not a vw polo ffs) and it'll be lovely. Sounds like a cracking buy.
Shame to hear about the focus, not sure I'd be able to swallow that so you're a better man than me.
TBH, by the time I'd sorted out packing materials, probably 20 quids worth, and sorted the courier, probably at least £50, £30 isn't exactly an extortionate amount of money to charge for time.
The seat price however, wow. If they sell I'm going into business selling Trophy Recaro's.
Buy it!
Rob's sums on running it are rubbish, in even remotely warm weather, once the pump has it up to temp, it'd just come in and out on stat, so wouldn't be constant use at 5kw
