Get back to you CP!

Someone has had that drivers door off it since i was last there, they had a dark green one in stacked right at the top a few years back, was mint, only 56k on it and i couldnt find a fault with it unless the head gasket had gone or something daft we had the radio out of it, orginal VW one which jumped into my tool box and wouldnt come out until i got out of the gates (bloody thing) :lol:
