Evening,
Thought I'd post a little project of this car as I look to tidy her up and use her for my daily runner.
I picked it up from Frankie and she looked like this:

I was very pleased very few marks and interior looked good for the mileage with only the start of tears appearing.
I was on the hunt after I bought this T5 for £250 as she was a little smokey:

She lasted 30 miles and it had an oil change during those miles. she also hesitated a lot and needed a good service but she started to knock and it got louder and louder till she just stopped.
So I had some bits off her and she ended up like this:

I decided to get out the tinting film:

Then went and had the cat cut out:

Which called for the tracking to be done:

Now drives straight and the front toes are bang on both sides.
