Bodywork, Servicing, Repairs, Accident Damage, Body Modification, etc etc

Hi peeps, just a note......

I work in a bodyshop in magdalen, and we are available for any bodywork, modification, service work etc.

The boss is a qualified bodywork technician, and qualified at BMW in kings lynn, was there for 16 years, then went self employed, and not looked back since.....

He owns his own VW Splitscreen, Karman Ghia, and other such classics, and is into the VW scene himself...

I however, and into the water cooled side of things a bit more, been into VW's since i was about ten, and never stopped playing with then.

I can do engine conversions, servicing, brakes, suspension etc etc......and between us we make a good team, for all your one stop needs......be it any of the above...

Give me a pm if ya need anything doing :-)

Lookin forward to doin business with you guys

im sure i can find out.....

as far as i know, you'll need inlet manifold, throttle cable, carb manifolds, and a facet pump, and fuel pressure regulator? other than that its all bolt on i think??

you'd need to go somewhere to get it set up though, on the rollers, as carbs need to be live set up to get the best from them?

cheers dude i will have a chat about it tmoz

hmmm! going to need some bodywork doing, rear drivers qaurter going a bit rusty around the filler cap and front bumper, can you give me a rough price please?

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I'm thinking that the barbie bike can do with a respray, banded steelys or bbs splitrims, and the peddal needs refitting and maybeeeee a radio dvd combo pack, also do you know where I can get the seat retrimmed in maybe something like bently leather or in that line

Thats good to know mate and I will talk to you sometime for I have toooooo many things..............always

of course, we can help with all of them things :-)

as for re trimming, there are a few people out this way...? my mate's dad is a trimmer, and then there's brockwell's near the college in lynn :-)

here's the latest bus we've been doing.... a 1959 23 Window Samba.... :-)

that looks sweet

Shit Rixy, That looks great, love the colour man. Good work..

that looks like some very impresive work there mate you got skills

glad ya'll like it, this is what we are capable of :-)

loving it ya clever buggers ,pardon the pun lol ,when i get ma bug i will have to come and see ya

How much for a full car respray including engine bay on a mk2 golf gti mate ?

ya best bet is to give steve a ring, on his mobile....i'll find the number for ya.......if i forget, send me a pm, lol.

He will come and have a look round your car, and give you an estimate??

Is it quite reasonably priced just was gonna do it myself but no location to do it lol

depends on what you class as reasonable, and how much u wanna spend. You want a quick blow over to tidy it up, or if you want a show winning respray? depends on how much damage / rust there is on the car, if there is any welding to do etc......

I'd say you'd be looking at about £300.00 for paint and materials alone i'd imagine........and thats without labour....

we charge only for the hours we do, so if we quote ya, and do it in less, you pay less......if it takes longer, you pay a bit more....

It all depends on what u want.......
steve's number is - 07879 838871

well its got rust on the arches under the trim and a few scuff marks here and there which will need filling, the rear sill near the wheel arch is very corroded and bought a new full sill jus needs welding on, all im after really is a respray on the shell in alpine white all over and the trim and bumper not included as im buying new ones im trying to get it from this.......
" border="0" alt=""/>
to this.....

ok man, well as i say, best bet is to call steve on his mob, tell him i told ya to ring him......or pm me your number, and i'll pass it on to him. he will come out and look, and give you a quote......its impossible to do an accurate quote without first seeing and assessing the car. :-)

in that case your gonna need your side repeaters deleted and smoothed(or buy wings without them)
your rear wiper deleted and smoothed.
all arches rolled and pulled.
set of small bumpers
fat door strips
cl spec arch splats (later cl spec, earlier ones had thiner ones that also go up further on the arch......i have these ones)
front valence
front chin spoiler.
mirror blank and a standard mirror for the other side.

at least from a body work point of view. this is by looking at your car and the one in the picture (which is very nice).


did i mention im a mk2 freak
