Thanks for that! I never realised that the 'europe' meant anything special untill i done a few internet searches.

I dont know what to do with the car, weather to modify it or not. Its far too solid of a car, bought of an old man who had from new, fully stamped service books, even the reciept of purchase! She is in absolute stunning condition!

Yes it was made in the 'Wolfsberg' plant and is still on the original german plates, still has original dealer stickers and even the toolkit. never been smoked in either. lol

What do you think i should do with her?

It's a difficult question...but it sounds like a good project and worth keeping for the "unusual" factor, and you wont see another around

Might just keep her in the garage for years, i got underneath her the other day. I can not find one small bit of rust, no broken cv boots or drives or anything. I think she is a keeper

sounds like a good plan (I wish i had the space for a similar find  )

My original plan was to turn her into a full GTI replica or else go for the 'European' look. Because of its cheaper maintance costs and also its acceleration. Its hard to know. lol
