No MOT or tax
It runs rather well and all seems to work (minus a few little bits n bobs
The body work is far from mint but all is fixable
Its done a bit over 130K
VW service history up until 97

Got it out and gave it a good clean today, but even after nearly 3 hours at it its still filthy.

Took the chance to take a load more pictures

Its new home (the MK3's old home) next to my mates garage.

Plans are as follows:

Sort all the bodywork out and respray the same colour
Hit it with the slamming stick with the aid of coilovers :dontgetit:
G40 front brake set-up + braided pipes all round
G40 conversion
Some choice wheels (unsure on these atm)
Completely re-do the interior
Sliding Britax sunroof (rag-top style)
Along with a load of other finishing touches.

Chances are some plans will change, but it has to have a G40 lump in it sooner rather than later.

Going to give it another clean tomorrow to get rid of the rest of the muck outside
Might have a bash on the inside too if I have time.

What do you guys think? I'm well chuffed for £60 :dontgetit:

Classics work but I'm after something a bit 'special' for this one :)

Gave it another clean today, looks far better now.

Had a look under it and surprisingly everything looks solid. Has had a brands new petrol tank :) (very common for these to rust at the filler neck)
Got tomorrow off work so I'll be spending all day on it, bumpers n arches off n whatever else might be hiding rust.
