Yer there was nothing major, main thing that put him off was a bit of rust on the chassis leg but its nothing serious. Like I say this is coming from the person that got the shell of his track car acid dipped and most of the underside powder coated lol

To add, my friend who works as a mechanic for VW has been under the car and everywhere and said there is none. Further to this i have now been out in the rain under the car, with an LED light and cant spot this rust.

Fair enough, sounds good mate
these look cracking in standard form, especially now that youve given the bay some attention, should serve you well as a good motor.
