Evening chaps, spent the day at The Phirm getting the clutch on the Caddy sorted.

While that was being done I helped Paul have a look at a Mk1 Golf with a G60 in it, delivered there as a "non-runner, could you just have a look over it"

Well.......

These little guys had been eating the wiring loom

I thought Iain and I were shonky but this is NEXT level Shonk, the inner CV has gouged huge holes in the exhaust manifold!!

Top level engineering here, we're sure this has come out of an IKEA bed frame!!

I've been accused of being shonky before but this really is top quality shonk, I've even offered him a TSV sticker!!!!

At least the little guys had a good time before their untimely death.

The rest of the stuff is well....a bit of top level engineering :cry:

Haha so what's the plan for it now

The quote to get it running and moving is £10,000

To get it MOT'd and up to a presentable standard is £25,000

Not sure what his plans are, I believe he wants it up an running so may well go for it.

Huge undertaking needs a bare shell re-build in truth as it's rusting through its arse

Rats and mice love wiring looms. Seem huge bit missing and made in to nests hidden in chassis legs..
