There is a low mileage GTI Jetta near me for sale did have a look at it sometime ago still for sale, the owner said the club know about its being, peter

Is it a GTi engineering version Welderone?

YES IT IS DID HAVE A LOOK FEW MONTHS AGO BUT THOUGHT IT WAS TOO DEAR. 1986 77,000 MILES £ 3 ,000 PETER

Sounds good if it was a minter i.e show room condition

It was not in mint condition would require some work to get up to my standards thats why I thought it too dear. Still for sale checked last night. peter

thats the one that was being sold on the classic car forum. It was sold on there so im guessing its the new owner selling on again. there can only be one with that milage on and you have to remember that despite the milage, the kit has been on for 23 odd years so there will be trouble underneath. Wheres it being sold now??

Its the same guy lol

it was marked up as being sold on the classic cr site

???

anyway, my car is no further forward that i know of

: (

Heres a more positive update

Popped up at the weekend to irion out some details etc and heres some fresh pics. The bodyshop has got back on track after the fire and prep work is in full swing. There was a delay with the welding chap due to a family illness, but things are movng forward

Heres one of my new sills waiting for a weld or two

Still to find on my snag list is:
a better GTI Engineering steering wheel than I have or at least a better center
Jetta complete lock set inc rear boot surround
central locking petrol cap
early tinted green glass- drivers side rear 1/4, passenger front main and 1/4 window, and a front screen
the lcd screen from the clocks
rear speaker pods that seperate by twisting
original gear gaiter
early gti gera knob
the upper cover over the steering wheel
dash surround
and a whole bunch of clips (see above Zender logo pic) to attatch the trim to as the previous owner used bondo

and a heap of time to stick it back together again!!

tell the lads to keep up the good work, glad your getting everything sorted now, after the bad start you had

Looks like good progress!

RE2 sorry to say buddy the clips are no longer available i searched for 6 months to find that out i got my full lock set on ebay including handles however id sugest taking the locks out of the replacement handles and using your orriginal ones as the aftermarket handles are mega flimsey

ive found some clips already!

where the hell did you find them

by buying a whole sideskirt but only having the clips posted

yeah!!!
Ive now got a full set of golf green glass so thats most of it replaced. Ive also found a few more parts from the wanted list too

Super buddy i cant belive you went to all the trouble oif getting new skirts just for the clips thats nuts buddy surely the skirt supplyer could have told you where the clips come from

they were cheap, but he still aint sorted it yet for me. Counting chickens and all that.............

bad news now for me, but i thought id found the clips i needed- not so

bugger!!

oh not good the search continues then?

turns out that the side skirts they had on sale didnt have the clips or the strips fited to them. They were only $5 each too!
damit dammit dammit!!

I dont want to have to use bondo!

Any new pics to share i am waiting on tender hooks here.... come on give me another fix pleeeeeease.

the last visit was pretty much the same condition. The welder has got family issues. There were a couple more panels prepped and i left a better front bumper and a couple of new front door hinges.
