Ben vs Mk3. Round 2.

[dark]

Same people - or a different guy? Whats the fail points now? I dont know if I will be able to get my car a safety certificate here either which apparently I need to transfer the rego to qld rego? Coils and pretty low, small tear in the drivers seat will probably fail me!

[Jarred]

borrow some stock suspension, and whack on a seat cover. wouldn't be the first dubber to do it!

[Ben J]

Different people. People I know where a little more lenient. They got me for different things. Still think 2 tyres are bad, my rear brakes, wiper bladers, handbrake needs adjusting and a crack in the alternator belt. Much cheaper/easier things to fix then an aircompressor and power steering pump/rack along with wheel bearings etc from the other place.

Damn dude, sucks about the roadworthy! Nice progress with the wheels, I want to do something along the lines of that. Love the home-style job.

[dark]

ughh stock suspension - what a nightmare! I need a dodgy roadworthy!!

[Defaultuser0520]

Granted mine is only lowered an inch on springs not coils, had a rip in the seat and just put seat covers on it, only thing they got me for was my saggy roof liner, that was at Jax Tyres here in Brisbane...

Jesus. Registering a car in Queensland seems impossible haha.

Yes, but once you have RWC you can keep the car for 20+ years without having to have it inspected again as long as you keep it 'registered' (starting to dislike the idea of something needing to be continually 'registered', I think it should just be called something like 'compulsory road tax' so we can stop kidding ourselves that it has anything to do with some sort of administrative registration fee).

[Ben J]

Guess who's back?





Cheers to Ironman for the wilsons towing back run tip.

anyway, no time for details, have to race back to work!

[dark]

Yes!! Sweet - so many bits to steal off that!!

[thestu]

Guess who's back?

Slim Shady?

not but seriously, good work, let the games begin

[dark]

I just had an idea! Hows the passenger side front guard and the bonnet? Were they damaged in the crash? If not - I am VERY interested in buying them off you! My car is that exact colour under the rattle can paint job and all panels are straight but those ones. If I could score them off you I'll rub all the black off and go back to OG paint! The douche didn't even scotchbrite the original paint so it should be ok under there! PM me or something if your keen. My car is exactly the same colour under the black paint!

Man that ****ing song has been in my head since I got the call at 7 am this morning saying they would be bringing it today. Haha.

Got the thing back for an amazing price! Manheim did some damage to it though. Theres a nice sharp dent in the fender panel dark wanted that I can say with 100% certainty wasnt there after I crashed it and saw it at the tow yard. Also the under side is ****ed and stuff. From what I hear Manheim are know for treating there salvage cars like trash. Ohwell. I didnt buy it back for its body

Also have to give the biggest of big thanks ever to VW Imposter, who linked me to it the night before the auction (I had been searching for it since I crashed it but it wasn't coming up for some reason. If I didn't get the message, it would have gone to someone else never to be seen (by myself) again.

[VR28LT]

can i ask what it went for with the inflicted damage ? just curious
