mate do a lot of research as owning a mk1 can work out very expensive especially if you get hooked on the car you have bought  :huh:

keep a very clear head and try not to let your heart rule, but if you get the right  one it will make you feel so cool it hurts  :cool:

and it will ALWAYS put a smile on your face when driving it  :rolleyes:

dunno wether ull find a decent gti for around 700 then... mine was 620 exactly but mines not a real GTI so...

good luck tho, ive yet to drive mine for long distances but from what i have driven they seem like a nippy little car, cant help thinking it feels far less scary than my mini at speeds, whether thats a good or bad thing is up to you lol...

ok ive seen a few mk1's for sale and need to ask u guys some questions, it seems that quiet a few of need attention to sills, can u replace the sills or is it a case of repairing the ones already on?

any other areas i need to look out for?

i see the spaire wheel well is another place but i have already seen that u can replace these!

thanks alot
