RIP My Mk1

[Oneofthegreats]

If you do a good enough job of it where everytime they wake up, they have something to remember you by, they'll learn.

R.I.P.

That's f**ked. I hope karma gets the culprits good and proper.

Mate, sorry to hear about your mk1 & hope all goes well with your insurance. Hopefully you'll be able to find another mk1 in good condition soon. They are out there.
I also hope you'll be able to find out who it was & dish out your own punishment as the cop's will probably just give them a slap on the wrist & $150 fine. The justice system suck's arse at the moment.

Good place to start would be local GP's, hospital's etc. for recent car injury's & what not on the night they took it, to get some names.

This happened to one of my friend's car's a few years ago & we had to do our own investigation's as the local cop's are useless (It's just too much work for them to do!). Anyway we found out who it was. From what I understand he still isn't walking to well now!

Unfortunatly they walked from the accident, in a way im happy that they rolled it because, that was the last corner before they were out into the bush and then i wouldnt have gotten anyting from it at all. the guy who does forensics around here is a good friend of mum and dads from the local vw club, so they are going to make sure some work gets done on the car, if they name the two assholes who did it they won't be walking right for a while either.

Heartbreaking

Buy it back if you can. Too much good stuff left on it to let it go. If it does go to auction (which I doubt) it'll go cheap.

Sorry. A sad day .

NRMA dont have a buy back option it seems, I'll just got to add up how much all the parts on it are worth to me and decide from there. I am definatly going to try and get the computer out of it before the insurance guy comes to the yard. I would also like the stereo out, which im not sure but as it wasnt listed as an extra on the car insurance can i take it? They said it will depend on the assesor as to what i can and can't take from it.

[Golf Loon]

I`d rip out the computer and replace the stereo with a stock one before the assessor comes. Just cut the wires and jam another unit in there. He is not gonna try things, hes just gonna look and say its worth $? Probably less than you think!

[static1800]

thats a top idea loon, the computer will be easy, it wont be noticable as its partly under the dash will just pull out the wires tuck them under the dash and remove it, not likes its going to be driven or anything.

[EndlessMKI]

somehow find out where it's being auctioned dude.......even if it takes a while no ones going to buy it anyhow.

I didn't know it had a wolf3D.

[luke_how]

sorry to hear about your car... I have never seen a vw with the E30 bmw wheels. have you got a picture of the car before the accident happend

[static1800]

[gldgti]

I may know who it was, that car was fingerprinted and DNA'd today and if they got a print the people we belief are the thiefs will go down as they have prints on file as they steal cars all the time and have done alot of breakins. let us only hope...

Sorry to see this thread. Looks a tidy car.

Doesn't the car belong to you until you agree a figure with the insurance company????? If so then you must be entitled to take what you want from the car before the settlement figure is agreed.

If you are not allowed access to the car I'd be kicking off big time.

Are alarms and immobilisers not commonly fitted in Australia? I used to do a bit in the UK and the prices for a basic one here fitted is the same as I used to pay trade to buy them in.

More depression, the MK1 that I was advertising for a neighbour has gone to You pull it somewhere around Adelaide.

A proper shame as it had some good stuff on it.

[static1800]

Am going in first thing tomorrow morning to get some stuff off it, as the police have released it. the Wolf3d is coming out as is the stereo, the guy at the smash repeairs said if it wasnt on the car when i got it, therefore not in my policy i can take it if i have something to replace it with. Would like the seats to and the GTI grill but have nothing to put back in there place.

Will find out when its going to auction if anyone wants a later model cab dash and interior along with pro car front buckets and said grill.
