Mk6 has heated glass and wiper etc, i stripped it down and started rubbing it down ready to paint, needs finishing off, it isn't rotten or anything and Is stored in the garage dry.

In mk6 diamond white but needs rubbing and a few little dents filling etc Then painting.
You'll have to fit the badges etc, all of it is there But it'll be in the garage and I'll have to find it lol, have the loom for it too and the card trim but it is knackered but it might be OK to use as a stencil for a plywood 1.

Free to collect i just think it needs to go from the garage now. :-)

Are they little dents?

My tailgate has quite a few dents and the inner bracing thingy's have departed from the outer skin of the door. N

Can't remember lol, it'd free Ned :-) i think 1 or 2 of them have come away on June too but it just needs sealant on them doesn't it they're not welded.

I can go get a picture for you.

That's them just a couple of little dings that can be filled etc. The lower recess is the locking barrel bit that ironically i don't think I've Rhett seen 1 fitted :lol:

These tend to go for a few quid on eBay so it's a bargain at fook all :lol:

Aye its the just the tailgate that got a bit battered by the previous owner when they backed it into a large post :roll:
I'll probably be able to get up your way in the next few weeks, I assume weekends are best for you, are you anywhere near that northstrop hall or whatever its called on the A55. N

:lol: I'm in Bagillt it's 2 miles passed flint.

If you go over the bridge that goes over the river Dee after the reside industrial zones and paper mill, the bridge is only like 10 years old or so and it takes you to flint, that's then the coast road which you stay on. Simples anyway.

The tailgate isn't bent or anything but as i say a little tlc followed by a little filler then paint and it'll be good again.
Although painting it might be a few quid :-( unless you use tin's :shock:

I know the paper mill, coast road through Connors Quay.

It'll need paint anyway as its not blue :wink: Luckily there is an auto paint suppliers in Northwich about 5 minutes drive from me, I can get a litre of paint from them and get high spraying it.

I might be able to get up there the weekend of the 22nd. N
