I have been following the rebuild on your Golf for quite some time. Always amazed at the time and effort you have placed into it's build. The speed in which you replaced gearboxes, the painting, dealing with k-jet, installing the engine - the list goes on.
You gave me the inspiration to replace my front wheel bearings, when you did yours. However, next time I will remember too tighten the brake caliper bolts....
It's a shame to see it damaged, Glad that everyone is O.K. (Not much safety equipment in a MK1!).
I remember what it was like to be 18 :) some 22 years ago...:frown: so don't be to hard on yourself.
Most importantly it was mentioned you may go to court? If so, please get some legal advice. People that deal in these situations daily, can make it a lot easier on you.
Just my two cents.

thanks mate that makes me smile...i did put a lot a lot of work into it and spent countless hours of work on it prepping, pondering and smiling when i got things right :) i replaced gearboxes in the rain and worked on it through the night until it got light so i could drive to work the next day...i have learn't sooooo much from trial and error and from you guys...this dub made me so happy and i just f##ked it for myself :'( so much happened in the 23 days, 18 hours and 2 minutes i had it registered. i spent more than 1 year and 41 days sorting and thinking what i was going to do with it when i got my original 4 door...and then it turned into a 2 door :)Quote:

I've chatted with stu a bit yesterday, and I can totally understand everything he's going through. Since I only went through it 2 months back.
I'd like to thank everyone for being so understanding and accepting. Stu acknowledges what he's done, and is naturally the hardest on himself. It's good to see he can still turn here for support and guidance.
It's a shame to see it happen. but you make choices, and sometimes you have to pay the price. Stu's handling it well so far, but it'll be a tough week for him no doubt.
All the best mate, and we're all here for you. and I'll cya soon too.
it was a shame coming on to read what had gone down,
but these things happen sometimes mate.
ill look forward to reading about the next mk1 2door you do up ;)
i was told you had one for sale ;) lolQuote:
