Please help!

why don't you drill some holes in it? the same as the previous door.

BTW: how much did all of this cost?

the whole done deal will be at 120eur. with parts and labour.

Why don't you try to do it by yourself? You just need to do some measure and drill on the news one.

Yes, but the plastic holders that go on the door and hold the plastic are broken on my door. A chorus doesn't have the black plastic on the doors, so there are no holes and I am afraid that if I drill then the door might corrode there.

That's really cheap! Here it would have been between 300 and 400, only the door would have been 100eur

I've decided to replace the front grille, right fender and metal strap that goes under the headlights. Here are a few pics of the parts that we're going to install and the work done today.

As any maestro, this one works on three fronts at the same time...

Very nice!!! Your car will be very nice after that and the work seems to be good too! So cool!

As you can see, work is progressing...

Nice work, very weel done! Congrats to your mechanics!

Yeah that's perfect! Happy for you!

After a long absence we are back!


I had a lot of family trouble in the past year so my car didn't really get the attention it needed. And also there were a few incidents. I crashed it in a kiosk because my rear end tore the silent block on the upper front left side of the axle. So i lost control in a turn and bammm!

Also got around to changing the seats, vaporizer clutch, a few front end suspension parts...

Photos will come if I find some...

Here are some pictures of last year. We changed the left drive shaft, trailing arms, stabilizer bar rubbers, shocks, springs, shock mounts, the whole thing... It solved many problems. But as a year, and even more, has passed since then, the stabilizer bar makes a loud sound when reversing and when going forward from reverse...

i need to check that out when I find the time. As I mentioned, the problems I had prevented me from ever finishing the paint job, so the car is in its worst shape ever. i'm very sad about that, and plan on changing this ASAP.

Looks like a good job you are doing. At my car the left front stabilizer bar rubber make some cracking noise when driving over speed bumps, so there are always things that keeps you busy.

Keep up the good work.

What's the sound like exactly?

So, after having overheating problems which resolved by a alternator belt change, and tightening a rattling spark plug, the engine decided to give out.

Smoke is pouring out by the rocket cover seal, just above the filter, smells like a great deal of the oil has been burnt. The engine is very hard to crank and water is also dripping out somewhere.

When I say smoke, I mean the whole engine bay is full of smoke, it's coming out at the wheels and front grill. I thought the car had caught fire.

It would seem it is her time, at circa 675.000km. I will try and get the car to a mechanic, that is if it will even start ever again, dismantle the engine and see if there is any chance of saving the engine by replacing the head gasket and other seals, the water pump and maybe some valves.

This is a very sad day
