Welcome to the forum  :y:
Where to start??  :scratch:
Personally I made sure (and continue to do so) that mechanically it's sound, engine, steering, suspension, brakes as they're the most important bits.
IF you've any cash left then you sort the bodywork out

Welcome simpson_eh!!!  For parts give funk-star a shout as he's a paid advertiser on here and breaks cabbies.  I'd make sure it's road legal then get it out… do work as you go and enjoy the car!!!

Good Luck

I am sure it will be all worth while Entered mine in the Car of the month Comp if you want to see a picture not winning though  :cry:

Hi Welcome to the forum

However you start and go about your project, make sure you enjoy it and do it your way!!

And make sure you start yourself a project thread so everyone can see your progress.

Hello and welcome aboard!

Its a MK1!!!, there was no MK2 Cabriolet.

Cheers

if you look at mine it is a mk1 but has a mk2 front grill and lights, as they continued to make the cabby when they brought out the mk2, they gave the mk1 late cabbys a face lift and used a few other various parts off mk2, some people call them a mk1 & 1/2 but they are mk1 none the less :wink:

Hi welcome along.

Mine started as a wreck and has come along way in the 7 years that Ive had it. No doubt you'll get to the point of selling it and wondering why you bother - and then, hopefully, you'll carry on!!!

Ask any questions you feel like - the dafter the better, they always get a good laugh and loads of replies!!! Not everyone knows the answer to every question!!!

Have a look at these photos and see where my wreck started.
