Rust is certainly something to keep an eye out for. I made that mistake when I bought my mk2, it's not terrible, it just makes restoring that bit harder. New panels are easy and cheap to come by, but they generally arnt a great fit.

In Leeds, maybe you should just come and fix mine up for me :laugh:
