The owner isn't a Stagea owner any more, and probably sick of paying the upkeep. Spends his time cutting the rust out of his Trabant and bogging it up.

Some of the admin guys will see this, and chime in - they'll have to figure out what to do with the site.

I've offered to help out in the past (financial or hosting), but owner was too proud to accept charity, lol. Hope it doesn't disappear as there's lots of good info stored on that forum.

The message looks more like a standard phpbb maintenance notice or error message, rather than the website itself being down. I'd imagine if the website were down due to lack of payments then the whole site just be 404ing.

You will need one of the forum admins to log into the administrator cp, and see whats going on.

exactly, needs a full-time admin to keep it going. something I don't have the time to do :(

looking for a new owner, don't want to sell it or want money for it. happy to just hand it all over to whoever I deem worthy (after speaking to a few key people on here).

feel free to post in here, or PM me.

unfortunately due to my work, im pretty busy, don't always even get time to hit up the VWW forums for my own car. I hope someone can keep it going and has the time to keep it maintained.

damn bots sting me as im not always keeping security updated. unfortunately this effects all users.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
