o/ good to hear it

[ld50]

yeah that was roughly my thought –

/me gets the panel beating hammers out and gets to work…

[ld50]

we just got snow here tonight… still no syncro tho

[ld50]

They do have the disadvantage of being in holland though or do they post for a reasonable price?

[ld50]

not really feeling the driver idea –

small portable generator and an angle grinder/elec saw and you should be able to get all the bits you need at the scrappy without having a car’s skeleton to dispose of after. Just a thought

[ld50]

is the coolant squirting back into the header tank when it’s warmed up? (it should be)

[ld50]

lol no but I ought to be an affiliate or something though actually!

[ld50]

I think i see what you mean with the spammers – a work forum I run has had 100+ random russian addresses trying to sign up…thx for the heads up

arg don’t get me started on sills… sills and bloody engine bays is all i ever seem to get to weld/paint!

If it’s a small damaged bit repairing it might be in order but doing a couple of smaller repairs can be as much work as fitting a whole new outer sill. Looks like another call to avenue panels for a sill (£25 ish) I repaired the one side of the syncro, am replacing the other side completely (after seeing how much work repairing was) and have just repaired the gti sill for the MOT… drop me a mail if you want to talk sills and bays in detail: syncronauts@googlemail.com.

There’s an ace book you might want to get hold of called “How to restore classic car bodywork” – http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_/026-7705230-6297208?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=classic+car+bodywork

It’s *well* worth a read – they focus on triumphs and MGs mostly so a VW should be a walk in the park compared to those rustbuckets There’s some photos of my sill repairs which might be of use here:

hope that helps

Ditto – and I’m still welding up the consequences! but hey this site didn’t exist then

Thanks for the comments on the site too

[ld50]

sorry I also thought this topic was in the public forums lol – thought the response had been a bit thin on the ground…

doh!

[ld50]

faking your IP isn’t impossibly hard to do if you have machine access in the right places.. e.g. a network of other spammers or even through machines hijacked by trojan horses or unsecure networks.

So it’s always the same IP he comes from is it?
