I would imagine there would be a lot of interest in the uk, interesting car and a real find.

I managed to pick up a bonnet in the right colour, thanks to Tom(jetta gtd) on vagdrivers, i will line it up properly when i have someone to give me a hand as i fitted it on my own....It should come up ok with a bit of a polish and wax, the main thing is it's straight and undamaged....I also have to fit the grill mesh to the vents in the bonnet
 

The old bonnet wasnt too healthy looking underneath or on the surface

^^^^This and a project thread in MK2 Projects.. I missed all of this until now as it's only in the welcome section and warrants a proper project section.  I'm all for quirky and different and yours is definitely that.

Keep us posted fella this is a great find and project.
