Mk5 feeling sorry for its self

[crayon]

Right guys here is my mk5


Not got much planned for it but do want to get it looking a lot better than it does,
needs
arches done
footsteps done
fit power steering
repair rusted rear doors

[JimJams]

Looks worth tidying it up

Looks tidier than some Mk5's i have seen and better than mine before i took it to have the welding done.... Power steering should be a doddle, what happened to the existing power steering? i thought they came with it as standard.

[dangerousbryan]

No,mine hasn't got it.think only the heavier weight ones got it?

[matthew2riches]

Looks a lot less sorry than mine does

I have taken the bull bars off ready for re painting
I also had both the steps rebuild

Ive had the wheel arches done ready to be painted



This is how bad the rear doors are

And i only went and banged the wheel arch again


So i`m on the look out for some blue rear doors and a bonnet rear bumper and end caps

Pictures are a little large, you may want to reduce them.

Power steering wasnt standard till about 98

Nice wheels some bargain!

Van looks pretty standard grot wise for the year. Just a note from experience, it would be worth welding on some new arches i reckon. Even if you clean back to new metal the rust has a habit of coming back through.

Wheels look great, I'll give you double what you paid

Thanks for the offer m8 but i`m going to hang on to them for now

Hi mate,

You'll be lucky to get a set of good rear doors, rarer than hens teeth, you'd be better getting the repair sections and welding them on.

Looks a good van, a splash of paint and it'll be a minter.

There was a set of mint doors on ebay but i just didnt have the time to go pick them up.
The van has been with us for 10 years and all its ever needed was a new fuel pump and the cam belt snapped
