Looks grimey! I look forward to what you do with it though

I love a good MK2 and I'm sure you will make this into one!

Yeah but grime is better than rot...but seriously you can't go wrong for 150 quid, it needs litterally no welding underneath. My plan is to paint the body and engine bay (same colour) and drop it on some nice wheels. Just keep it minimal and clean. Obviously all new suspension, bushes and brakes. Has a brand new set of rear discs and pads in the boot!! I like the 6 digit reg plate also!!

Cheers mate, yeah its some read! I get all emotional reading it back

things not so clean now after having it on the road past 2 weeks as its all manky already. Enjoy driving it too much to keep it parked up. It is like a new car on the road!!

Sounds like a plan and a half! Make sure you post up a link to your new thread for it here

£150 is a complete bonus, I would have definitely done the same!

Just some recent pics after giving it a good clean. Got some trim ends and replacement strip for the sideskirts so its all complete down there now. Still got some we bits and bobs to do like fit my anniversery silver dials and do my headlamps and perhaps some amber front indicators. And get some red tint and laquer on the rears. Also needing a couple of rubber window trims as they have rust bubbles on them. Find a replacment maf as mine's gubbed and currently disconnected. Drives real good on the road and is delivering near on 40mpg but not been driving it hard as have been well looking after it. Thinking about changing the bumpers back to textured plastic tops and some point but not sure yet. Sort everything else out first. Needs a good detailing too.
