now from experience of having various cabs, I've always found once you take off the clipper kit (blue car for you) there is alot of rust underneath, thus I'm a big fan of the older cabs, as you can see where the damage is. Depending on what the underneath of the cars are like, I would go with doing up the black one and driving it as its works and get a cheap running gear for the blue one and sell it, then use the money from the Blue one to really do up the black one. Then again I would keep both and use one for day to day and one as your show car

You could always break the blue one as you will get good money for cabs in parts these days.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

cheers m8 for the info i have just got a 1.6 engine and box for the blue 1, and thought of doin that and selling it should get a tidy sum for it? as it clean apart from the interior put a years mot on it should be all good.
i got a mk4 20vt for a daily bit more comfort the mk1 is purely goin to be a weekend car so will prob sit there all week.

With regard to rust and corrosion....always check where the rear beam bolts on. Terribly prone to corrosion in this area, can be expensive to fix unless done yourself.
