Yay, the GT is gone.







I called into the bodyshop and had a chat. They have the quattro booked in to start work next week and we have a hard deadline of Christmas for completion.
The Skoda's going in next week too for a couple of days to get the front repaired.

I can see that the lawn mower you found could be useful ;D

All good Rob, I reckon these cars are still stars. Have used mine a lot this year and after parking at the beach, or in town, have young guys (mostly high school students) all over it with lots knowing what it is.

I'm seriously thinking about using as my daily drive and even maybe selling the Skoda to cover some of the costs.

Did I really just say that?

I take the train to work most days and have had regular review cars this year for Autoclique, so the Skoda hasn't had that much use.

I say daily it if it's only the milk run etc followed by the weekend fun that you will all ready be doing.
As you won't really clock up many extra km.
Take the wife's car if you don't like the parking or its raining etc.
I use my mk2 in this manner and feel like it's the weekend as soon as I turn the key.
Only down side is when it's off the road you don't want to have to rush the repair but I have the work van for that.

Just spoke to Just Rust as they're repairing the Skoda this week. They're definitely starting the Audi tomorrow. Apparently :D We'll see when I collect the Skoda.

Picked up the Skoda from repair - they've done a good job. Visited the quattro too. Not started yet but definitely Monday :D
I met PJ at Just Rust today and he showed me a classic Porsche Targa car they're replacing the floor in, and an old Austin where they've fabricated a whole new floor. Good stuff.
Oh and the headlight lenses are done, should get them back soon.

It was just under 500 bucks for the four lenses including postage back. Will post pics when they get to me.
