Bloody hell, I didn't know they rotted that bad on the inside! I nearly bought a MKI with some "Surface rust" as a rolling proect. After seeing these pics I'm glad I didn't.

i took all the trim and pannels off mine as soon as i bought it and wax oiled the sh!t out of it! also do it all once a year to keep the rot at bay!!

That doesn't look too bad to be honest, will be keeping an eye on this restore, keep the pictures and details coming. If you need any parts for the mk1, give me a bell I've got a complete mk1 golf GTI in white being stripped and the body parts are in good condition.
