22yr old german,needs cosmetic surgery

time has come for someone who has time and a little money to spend on some cosmetic surgery for my 23 yr old german bird

bought 2 yrs ago with intention of having road worthy and attend shows,unfortunatly money hasnt allowed,although have spent quite a bit,when i bought her the head gasket was gone,so bought a replacment engine(turned out to be mk2)so found a 1.8 gti 8v engine last year,that had had a reconditioned head in 2007 by big boys toys with receipt.this is still out the car.

i have degreased the engine bay the best i could,as clean as could be without a respray.degreased the gearbox so is just waiting for engine to be put in,engine also looks very clean.

have single debadged grill and twin light badged grill

i have resprayed the radiator casing and cleaned the fan,but needs new radiator(£30 on ebay)
in the last 2 weeks have bought a clean metering head,stainless power roah pipe,and brand new plastic scuttle cover that all together cost over £90

also spares i have to go on the engine;
cam belt
alternator belt
spark plugs
oil filter
waterpump
rocker cover gasket

it has had a new clutch which just may need checking and cleaning

it has been lowered and is on ats cups(one cap missing)

it needs a carpet and sound deadening,it has white interior drivers bolster worn and all needs screwing in,has stereo and amp wires to the boot

now the body work;underneath is solid front inner wings are mint but at the back along bottom of the roof has rusted and holes appeared, around filler neck has rusted although filler pipe appears to be in great condition maybe replaced before ,and is a dent on rear drivers corner vertical about 4" long,altough is not to bad and it is a project after all. it also needs new roof as this one is knackered and has holes.have a couple of other things,a 1989 tax disc,chrome golf ball gear knob beige tonneau cover(bought because it looked white in pics)

so to sum up

this is a PROJECT
engine is out of the car,but once all listed spares are on will be mint
needs welding/repairing to rear driver wing
lots of spares
15" ATS cup alloys/lowered
interior screwing back in
new roof

have decided to buy a corrado g60 so will not have time for both,and she deserves better

looking for £600 as is well worth it with wheels and spares,it will make a stunning example
