heart-broken

[jayjay]

=[

the golf failed a blue slip earlier today.. not to say that i didn't take the scenic route in coming home though. the problem pretty much rust. there's a whole heap near the hinge of the driver door, underneath the battery and along the roof line adjoining the rear quarter panel.

hmm do any of you guys have much experience/want to help me with getting rid of this rust? i think the trickiest bit is the door frame part. and also, what do i do with hail dents..?

thanks guys, james

Are you handy at welding?

Geez James, that is heartbreaking. I had absolutely no idea the little beastie had that much rust in it......I knew there was a spot under the back window and a chunk under the passenger front door. My heart goes out to you, mate.
My condolences

Go somewhere else and get a blueslip mate.
I can sort it at Campbelltown if no-one else can.
Doesnt sound structural, the tester is probably being too picky.
Call me if you want to sort it out.

Once you fail you have to go back to the same place dont you?

Hard luck mate.

If its a car the tester is unsure of they will tend to fail it, we had a magna with huge rust problems, passed every year. Go and see Golf Loon.

Hard luck mate.

the knob tester couldnt find the vin apparently so hes safe on that front

ok than, take it over to Loons workshop.

[Golf Loon]

You can try ten testers if you like. You need no loyalty there.

Bring it to me and I`ll help you sort it.

[jayjay]

hmm.. there isn't really a simple way to get it down there though. towing? could i apply for a unregistered vehicle permit? i'll get some pics up quick smart.

[Golf Loon]

You are allowed to drive a vehicle for registration purposes, provided you have a written statement of intent with you.

Mine read like this

STATEMENT OF INTENT

I Golf Loon of 22 Somewhere Ave, Camden, 2570, NSW do intend to drive VW GOLF VIN WVWZZZ1H2SN4429998 to
A Mechanical Shop, Somewhere Place, Narellan for Registration Purposes. And to the RTA at Campbelltown.

Date 23/01/2008

Signed

Licence 14200000


I have been pulled over twice with no plates and one of these statements and both times the cops read it and waved me on my way.

Check with the RTA if you dont believe me.

Or I`ll arrange a tow for you for $100.
