It's just as much as I love cars especially my mk1, I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. I like going away for weekends, travelling and stuff. I'd rather not spend on something when I'm never gonna see the money again. The only reason I did the 16v conversion was cos I could actually make some money by doing it rather than cos I wanted to mod as such. I dunno [:^(]
See this thread - will make you feel better about rust!! http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2398521
There's loads of work there, and I would say at most bodyshop rates its beyond economical repair if you want it to look properley sorted. 600-700 is too good to be true, you can't pass up on an offer like that, get it sorted I hate the phrase but its a no brainer.
If I were to store it in my garage, in the state it is in and sort it in a few years when time and money allows what will happen?? Will the rust grow?? The garage would be dry. I think this might be an option for me and I'd use the mk1 scirocco as my daily driver.
LMFAO!!!! I looked at that pic and thought "hmmmmm, why is there all that mud in the floorpan......." few seconds later... "poo!!! what floorpan?!?!"
Haha ive only just got that too! been looking at it for days thinking 'it aint that rusty, just need to scoop the pooe out' lol
That Vortex linked to above is just amazing. Some of the extreme examples of rust that have been repaired. Astonishing.
