HELP, my first T25

Post by kateydee13 »

Hi Guys,
Just bought my first T25 and she needs a bit of love before I can get her MOT'd.
One of the things I'm going to need a bit of advice on is the wheel arches. From the outside they look fine but when you get down and look up inside one of them has rotted through in the top. Can you buy replacements to weld in, I've not seen any on the net just loads of the outer panels.
Thanks in advance for any help, please go easy on me I'm not a mechanic or VW expert! lol :D

Yeah it's chequer plate, I know it's odd but I kinda like it. I'm sure purists will think that's a sin lol, but hey we live on a farm so it might prove handy cow poo n pee is some pretty corrosive stuff :lol: :rofl

Oh yeah I know she needs work that's why I joined the forum so I can pick all your brains!! Lol :ok
Got enough jobs 2 keep me busy til summer I think. But I'm not after a show machine just something I can use, its more than likely gonna end up ferrying drunk rugby players around so it could have a hard life! :wink:
It has an interior I've never seen before (not that that means much) I'll try n get some photos today to see if you guys can give me any history on it.
Is dubfreeze a good day out? Got a list of parts I'd like 2 pick up already.....

Yeah it's ally plate. Not sure if you can buy them or whether someone has spent a long time measuring and cutting it coz its neatly done.

The side that you really have to watch is 'kitchen' side since it could be hiding rot.
