was busy trying to remove the O/S front caliper when I heard something on the roof:

I don't know why but this picture amuses me.

Good effort with the work you've done on this car, I can imagine that most people wouldn't have bothered but I like the way you're making it a daily, and especially that you've chosen it partly for ULEZ reasons!

I think I used to see one of these getting around in Australia when I was growing up. But even there they would be thin on the ground.

Cheers, at this rate by the time i get it on the road the Golf will probably be ULEZ exempt anyway, but i'm not really one to leave things unfinished (even if they end up absorbing my entire life)

Also I kinda felt sorry for it, nobody was going to be stupid enough to throw the time and money required at the poor thing since it was a base model. Even the guy I bought it off of had planned to use it as a donor body for his even rustier family estate.

Then again I've got form - Golf looked like this when I got it back from being nicked:

  

Was a £150 car, just couldn't bear to scrap it seeing as it had come back to me after an 800 mile-round trip, so here we are 9 ish years and 60k miles later

Some cars get under your skin. They shouldn't, mind, but yet they do.

Well it's that or I'm just not very good at throwing things away...
