Our 2005 FR TDI is showing its age. We've had it from new and having had an easy life to summer 2015 under the control of my wife, I've been commuting 100 miles a day after we moved house, it has 151000 miles on it.
Get rid (I don't think there's much on it of value to make breaking it worthwhile) or repair/restore/restomod?
- It was hit on the OSR corner last year by an unisured driver and has a dent just in front of the tail lights on the quarter panel.
- OSF wing is shot due to rust.
- The heater recirc flaps stuck, so I pulled th motor off and jammed it "open" to stop the car steaming up.
- Seat bolster worn through.
- Last April's MOT advisories were worn front arm bushes, the front arms are corroded and the exhaust silencer is rotten. I've done another year and not bothered sorting any of that.
- Tailgate has a wobbler and won't open at random times.
