Firstly i would look out for the fact that vw never made a mk2 cabby :wink: they used the original mk1 design for the ragtops right up until the mk3, seems to be a trend they follow because the mk4 cabrio is just a mk3 with a facelift.

im sure someone will be along shortly to advise on everything else, welcome to the forum :cool:

A mate of mine is about to purchase one soon also.  apparently he has been told to look under the rear seats as this is a major rust problem on these shells.  can't help you with anything else sorry.

The MK1 forum has a checklist for buying a Mk1 cabriolet but most of the stuff written is good advice for any car that you are buying. Make sure you take your time and don't fall a piece of rubbish that is going to cost you a fortune to fix... like me  :sad:
