The AGM is the aim, it'll be really tight though and most likely incomplete but would hate to turn up in a mk3 when my mk1 is so close to being finished..
Reading the projects makes you feel a connection to the car when you see it for real, as you know the hard work gone into it, sorted wish I put a thread up now..

also bought one of these chrome bonnet arm great finish to it
bought one of these from vw for the arm to fit into
also i realised that whatever idiot had my car before me must of had a thing with cutting stuff off this so i had an engineer make me up a bracket for the bonnet arm to fit into
