    Only if it's on the back of a tow truck

    Still undecided whether to do the chains and clutch yet. Seems like the perfect time whilst the R32 donk is out, but after driving it a few times clutch feels good and chains are still quiet.

    Haven't updated this in a few months... Things are getting there SLOWLY...

    Engine/Gearbox is out of the Bora and it's now currently at the repairer getting that rail end repaired.

    Decided to give the R32 a break from towing duties. Used the V5 instead.

    AND much to my wife's anger... Yet another donor vehicle has arrived.

    Parked in the designated spot (as indicated by the rectangle of dead grass) on my front lawn. I'll be using this one to strip airbags, seat belts, crash sensors, coil spring and airbag module from.

    Good to see some progress! Was there anything wrong with the silver one?

    Got written off. Owner hit a brick/rock, cracked the sump and kept driving. Motor is seized, other than that no damage.

    Shame it's written off actually because I have a spare motor!

    Such a waste when it's something so minor. Win for you though!

    Agree, but it all comes down to warranty. Still win for me

    It has a few goodies too. Audi TTRS (I think) Reps and a banging quad Lukey Performance exhaust. Sadly I'll never get to hear it

    Certainly do sir... I've been stalking your Facebook

    Actually the boys @ Centreline had it repaired, painted in a 1.5days! It's arriving back at the MK4 graveyard (my place) today.
