Nice blank canvas,
What mods you got planned?

Cheers Chaps, think the first mod will be suspension followed by wheels, side rail cover, panel filter and a map possibly an exhaust. After that seats and door cards. Think I'm going to leave colour coding until I get a Touran front end. Most of this will be ages away as I'm skint from buying it!
Cant believe how nice it drives, I think the rear wiper has a mind of its own! Eventually I did manage to stop it! Ha ha

First mod cost a grand total of £1.99 ! Rear wiper had to go so used a tap blank from B&Q! I will weld up the hole when I get round to painting the rear doors have they have a bit of a dent at the join.

Nut screwed on backwards (flange out) for clearance and seal on the inside.

Looks alright from the outside, better if it was painted!

Also I'm missing a bit of trim from each side of the front screen (see below) does anyone have the part numbers or rough price?

Cheers Tron

Well after spending Friday replacing the dead gearbox clutch and now SMF. Did not want to be doing a job so big so soon after buying it but hey ho these things happen! I decided to do another almost free mod and paint the inside of the headlights satin black, does take a while but I think its worth it

Cheers mate, not too bad, I heated round the join with a hot air gun working slowly around with a large flat blade screwdriver and wide scraper, it does take a while as I was being careful not to damage them, the second one was much quicker to do though.
