Right then! Fairly big update now as, I have had time to work on it after finishing the last big job for a while.(pics included) Turns out I have less than two weeks to finish the car, so I will be fully at it from now on and am expecting to be painting it mid next week.
I have found more rusty bits as I have been taking trim off etc, seems like 1 forward and 2 back
I have finished patching up the arches at the rear and skimmed some of the bits I treated earlier on in the thread.
I then got hold of another mk2 which was 1.3 with loads of GTI bits on it, including g60 arches
a stainless exhaust, omp steering wheel, audiosport door pods and some handy panel sections!! I picked it up as a non-runner for 150 squid, I sold the Jetta front end off of it and a few other bits and made my money back straight away... which was nice!
After some deliberation i decided that the bootlid from the breaker was in better nick than mine, so i set about repairing it and flushing the wiper and washer jet holes.
Removed the roof strips and found this on the offside:
I trial fitted the exhaust I nabbed off the other golf, being a 1.3 it needed some convincing and still nedds shortening a few inches, but looks ok:
