MK1 2 door for sale in Australia

I know the MK1 2 door is getting rare in England and finding a 2 door shell in rust-free condition is almost impossible without paying a fortune.

It's different in Australia.

There is a shell for sale in Sydney for Aus$400 and the owner is having problems finding someone to buy it. That's less than 200 pounds.

Cheers

Paul

It does not look rust free to me look at the window and roof, what's happened in the engine bay! Where has the original bulk head gone and that flat bit of metal welded in there?
Another abandoned project where you will be forever trying to find bits that are missing.
I guess Mk1 in Austria last longer as the weather is better …

It's a brave person who takes on some one else's abandoned project which has had that much chopping/modding.

The only weeping I can see happening is because a perfectly good shell has been ruined. :lol:

I looked at it.

He told me he's scrapping it this weekend! Needs the space.
