Nice finds indeed! Mr. Vlietje makes me want to hate him for gathering so many excellent new parts. :thumb:Quote:

Loving this thread, will be watching this.
Small update, fixed some minor issues on the car over the weekend.
Clutch cable was dead

Fitted the new one and cleaned the gearbox a bit

This is why I need a new rear bumper

Cheers!
That exhaust is very nice!!
Very shiney mate !
Is that bumper not repairable?
You got PM about a part I need ;)
Yeah, it's nice but it comes out under an angle, so I think it's a MK1 backbox. I want my backbox to come out 90 degrees on the rear bumper. As straight as possible and I bought a new stainless steel system with 3" tailpipe last year, see page 7...Quote:

Pickup this nice box on my way back from Techno Classica in Essen yesterday.
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...1/27f5e36b.jpg
In it was a new Valeo radiator
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...1/7579e954.jpg
Techno Classica in Essen was great, some good inspiration, seen some stunning cars. There was even a Corsa A on display at the Opel stand.
Niek shot some piccies, hope he'll share them with us asap!
Also ordered new car mats, picked up two samples to check the colour as the company that makes them is only 3km away from my house. Tried the two samples and decided to go for the anthracite one as the grey one was matching the carpet but I think it'll be difficult to keep them clean...
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...1/3cef47bf.jpg
More parts to be picked up on Wednesday as I'm travelling to Germany then.
Cheers!
I've got the same radiator. got it for £27.50 brand new :)
You win, I paid € 46,00 for this one...Quote:

F*cked up because the left headlamp seems to be damaged, so ordered a new one from OCP (wish I did this originally...).
Will post some new parts piccies tomorrow.
For now I've fitted the new mats front and rear. Mucho better me thinks!

Replacing the front seat headrest bracket tomorow, Tuesday is MOT day...
Nice collection of parts there mate , liking the mats aswell :)
Cheers! Mats are really good, best thing about them is the fact that you can configure them yourself: fabric quality, colour, trim colour, heel piece, etc... http://www.automatten.nl/automatten/...8,502,335.htmlQuote:

Hmmm... think we have a possible APK (MOT) failure on our hands here.

Good old Mk2 seam sealer hiding the rot :(
Thats not good, will you just put a repair patch in or a new inner wing?
Can't find inner wings at the moment... So best thing to do is the repair it, but the inner wings to front side members also shows signs of rust on both sides...
Sure some welding can sort that out... doesn't look good though :(
Well passed APK (MOT) this morning!! I now have exactly one year to sort out the rust. @ Count Vaux Alot you want to show us your fabrication skills on a LHD any time soon?? :d
Mine passed the APK (MOT) too with a hole like that behind the suspension turret ;)
Good thing Jurgen! And good to see you registered on here!
Friday morning Niek_Nova and myself packed the car for our UK road trip. The Skoda was packed till the roof with panels and small parts.
We had:
1 x Full Nova roof skin
1 x Full Nova Mk2 rear quarter
1 x Nova tail gate
1 x Nova Mk2 LH front wing
1 x Nova MK2 RH front wing
3 x Nova MK1 RH front wing
1 x Cav front wing
1 x Cav rear quarter
1 x Cav rear plate
And some small parts... :eek::eek:
First stop was Clais to board the Eurotunnel at 11:20 CET.
We dropped off parts at Rich, Graeme (who had a very mint Magnex back box for me), Dayle and after arriving at our B&B near Donnie around 22:40PM on Friday night Tahir was waiting for us to pick up his Cav parts. We found out the bar was closed due to a private party and headed back to the room for a good night sleep, two separate beds before you guys ask! lol
Saturday morning 07:30 AM I got a call from Allan and Iain that they had arrived to pick up their parts. After a good chat we went for brekkie and headed to Stu to pick up a GSi bumper and have a closer look at his GSi before it was collected.
All I can say it that the pics don't do justice to Stu's car, what an immaculate example!
Made a very good deal on some (well a lot of) parts that Stu wanted to part with, mostly new parts and OEM, I'm a sucker for that as you know!
We left Stu so he could waive his GSi goodbye in private and headed back down south to catch the return train, unfortunately there wasn't enough time to drop by Joff for a cup of tea and some catching up after more then 10 years. But we'll bring over some Belgium beer for you and catch up at Billing mate!
On our way down we met Martin for whom I picked up a roof skin at OCP. Took the 18:20 train back to the continent and we arrived back at my place at 23:45 PM after exactly 1609km lollollol
http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/...1/67a60f79.jpg
Niek then only had to drive up to Lelystad himself thats an extra 100 miles... :eek:
I had a lot of fun and Niek enjoyed himself as my private navigator/assistent/Tesco finder/Marmite king/etc...
I'll update tonight with the parts I got for my project...
Thanks to Stu and Tahir I now have GSi door stickers (I'm awaiting another set from Germany), red bumper tape and a new Mk2 GSi logo:
