so questions really are.
1. is it worth saving?
2. should i keep it factory or do an engine swap? and few mods? if so whats available? don't want no stupid bodykits just some nice subtle mods engine and handling.
3. price of parts? and availability i.e. panels, lights and other bits ect.
its not a gti i presume its a driver? like i say im more of a jap enthusiast the closest ive come to anything other was pug 205's i had 8 of them haha
i cant get any pics at the minute maybe in a few days.
cheers, steve

Using something "just because it's there" - is complete false economy.
Unless the car is a special, rare or has some interesting history then it sounds like its too far gone to consider.
Once the rot gets in the seams it'll be there forever.

Failing that it can always be broken and the parts sold to finance another mk1 project! Although its sad to see one being stripped for parts there is never a shortage of people wanting obscure and obsolete bits from them!
Good luck

Personally and from experience a standard car will be worth more in the long term.
Good luck
