LiquidTension82 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 damn that totally sucks man!!! I know your pain. I had an EG Civic hatch almost complete JDM SiR II coversion and one trip to NYC turned into my worst nightmare. It was recovered the same way, well almost, they burned the carcass too! Some duestchebags need to learn to work hard for stuff. at least you still have the shell it's a chance to build anew. Quote Link to comment

vw4life Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 NOOO!!! poor cabby I'm surprised they didn't take the taillights and top, but they took the clipper kit I sold mine last year, worst mistake I have ever made. Your tank is awesome btw! Those monti colors are incredible Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Damn that is dirty, sorry for your loss of a cool little ride. Yah thanks man, some people are asses. That's horrible man... Some people are so dirty and pathetic.... On a positive note,is the shell salavagible and able to possibly rebuilt ? It probably is and while the thought of turning what's left into a monster is appealing, I just don't have the time. I'll be cutting my losses. It's a sad day. That was very considerate of them to put some wheels back on it Hahaha, tell me about it. The first thing I noticed was that it was on 4 skinny biscuit spares. damn that totally sucks man!!!

It was recovered the same way, well almost, they burned the carcass too! Some duestchebags need to learn to work hard for stuff. at least you still have the shell it's a chance to build anew. Unfortunately some people find it easier to steal things than work hard for them. As for the shell, as tempting as it is, I don't have the time - I'll cutting my losses and taking the insurance money. NOOO!!! poor cabby I'm surprised they didn't take the taillights and top, but they took the clipper kit I sold mine last year, worst mistake I have ever made. Your tank is awesome btw! Those monti colors are incredible I'm not sure if I'm more upset over the car being stolen or them destroying it, it really was one of the nicest mk1s in Cape Town. Perhaps it was too unique to not chop. And thanks Poor Dub! Indeed. Quote Link to comment
Orangutran Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Such a shame! Those thieves have no respect for classic rides! Very few mk1s here in Canada, conditions too harsh for them to last! Not sure if you can tell, but I've got a mk6 in my avatar. Quote Link to comment

It is tempting, wish I had the time. Jeez no respect what has our world become Find who did it and give them a good punch in the throat For some people it's a lot easier to take than earn, it's unfortunate. Such a shame! Those thieves have no respect for classic rides! Very few mk1s here in Canada, conditions too harsh for them to last! Not sure if you can tell, but I've got a mk6 in my avatar. A Mk1 Cab in -40 isn't ideal How are you enjoying the Mk6? Quote Link to comment
