Just spent the last hours combing through this thread.  Your did a great job! Your car would be worth a mint over here.  I'm starting a US mk1 and the people over here are calling it a pile of scrap and not worth the effort...This thread is a huge motivation, thanks!

Can anyone tell me please how the push start button works I have the main cable coming from battery to starter I need to cut this and connect it to the push start button? Also do I need a solonoid for this year car? Cheers Tom

Not sure about the start button but pretty sure it should have a solenoid... There was one at garage I help at some times thats a 64 and had one..

No solenoid, the button is the solenoid but manually operated. The battery cable runs to the rearmost terminal and another battery cable from front terminal to starter. There is a thin wire from rear terminal that takes main power to fusebox. It runs inside car and through floor near bulkhead.
