Moved this to projects as it's your new car.
Love the series 1 and want one at some point so looking forward to see what you do with it. Let us know how you get on :wink:

It'll be crazy with a 20VT in it, you might have to go for bigger wheels though, so the brakes to fit under and for it to get the power down.
If your keeping the worn paint patina try get some Ankor Wax. It's what the aircooled original/ratlookers use to preserve their original worn paintwork without any rust areas getting any worse. It gives a matt effect but would save her from rusting away. 8)
