well i got a call the other day from some body shop in town and they said they had my car a 91 16v gti Black, after its been sitting there for a year they finaly decided to call.
i guess the police called when it was recovered but we were away on vacation
well the car is back in my posession and i think i wanna fix it up again
the whole interior is completely stripped they took
the seats
headliner
carpeting
mirrors
center console
door panels
and inteirior plastic trim panels
bumpers front grill
radiator support
tail lights
anyone know where i can get some parts for cheap?

dude, those are the easiest things on earth to replace!

you're VERY lucky! talk about bolt on/clip on/stuff..
interiour and stuff may be hard to come by, but I say replace the essentials, get some nice racing seats, etc. and go to town on that thing http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

That would be my guess too. It's a crying shame, I only thought stuff like this happened in the asian car market. I mean if you don't have the money to buy 15 year old seats, a grill conversion etc.. then you need to find a new hobby. Parts for dubs are so cheap it's ridiculous that someone would swipe them.

How did they take it? Hot wired or wut. Was the ignition hacked to ****? Some tried to steal my rabbit awhile back and hack the ign. trying to get it started, no luck on their part

I dont get it, why would they take it to some shop? Wouldnt it be in some sort of impound lot or sumtin? And why did it take the shop a whole year to call you?
atleast you got the car back, so thats a good thing I guess. They just took the stuff out, didnt damage or vandalize the car at all?

more than likely the shop is a holding pen or storage yard for the town, that is how it is around here.
