Looks like a bargain. For your bits and bobs you can try VW as they do carry some of the stock, failing that try scrappers, this forum and other places like GSF.

only one way to truly check mate, look at the bottom end of the engine and you should see either 1.6 or 1.8 on the block itself... :)

Other mk1 parts can be easily got hold of from - (site is germany but they do everything for a mk1 tin top) - http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=26905.0

Bargain at 400 by the way... keep us informed of how you get on.. you might also want to have a look at this club/forum they only focus on mk1's only - http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk
