Got A New Car

[stum450n]

But it's not a scoob

it's a black mk3 golf tdi - got her for running about in really so she could do with a spruce up but I'll get on to that in the new year when I sell her on.

Nothing like the scoob but quite nippy around town!

Nope, no pics. Didn't expect to be buying it tbh, stopped by a friends on the way back from Somerset and ended up leaving with it! Was dark when we got home.

Errrr, luxury??!?! It's not a patch on the scoob mate - new box but gear changes are horrible. New brakes but they're spongey - torque steer like you wouldn't beleive and above all, it's an oil burner ffs!!!!

Err, less than I can insure it for!

Well she's gone now and been replaced with a ratty old 7 seater but I thought I would show you how 'Lady Penelope Chuggington Smythe' ended up before she went...

Before (LOTS of cosmetic rust!!!!):

During:

After:

Oh, and 'scuse the pics, they were taken on my phone.

The "Skank Tank" will be getting a similar treatment but as there's very little rust, I'll be looking to do something a little special with the colour(s)

Hey Stu - where did you buy that from? I recognise it......

looks like you've done a nice job mate

Friend of ours, lives in Witney works at Benson so quite possible.

Nice looking car there Stu, spotless as ever

Cheers! Got a rotary polisher for my Birthday so it'll be a damn sight easier should I need to do it again... seems a pity the new project will [hopefully] never see polish again!
