well which do you prefer? how much money/time do you want to spend? which has the most solid body?
afaik, the hoods should be the same, don't think the dimensions ever changed with regards to the hood, although I could be wrong..
fyi - Karmann is not actually a "spec" its just simply where the cabriolets were built :smiley:

dinx thanks for info time is not a issue money can always be a issue tho lol but in no rush
 
rite blue 1 w reg  as said no engine box poo interior slight rip in hood underneath spotless need 2 doors sorting and few bits of trim inside needs respray tho!!

black 1 b reg gti  good engine good hood poo interior again underneath solid as fas as i can havent had this 1 on ramps yet  downside rust rear quarter but not to far gone new wing and front panel also needs respray in my eyes !!

That and my bentley manual.. :grin:
Also Lee, have you checked out the mk1 golf forum?
right... first off, you either need to use bullet points or commas as I had to read your lists like three times! :grin:
Usual places for rust - Front wings - esp passenger, where the ariel is usually located
underneath windscreen and rear window
fuel filler neck
check battery tray

If your not bothered which, Id pick the best body, use the best bits off each car and go from there..
