I couldn't be more thankful for the offers  :)

However, I need someone who knows more than me  to come and have a look at it.
Holeinmk1 (Tom) has offered to take a look on Tuesday.

Need to decide if I can realistically take on the job. I can't weld and don't have a ramp so that would need to be done in a garage. I hope I can do it like, that'd be fantastic sense of acheivement getting her back on the road! And not just that, I loved the car.

But if Tom reveals major damage underneath I might have to sell the whole thing on here (it's not going to the scrappers!) Because I do have a ?700 budget.

Well, i'll keep you all updated,
thanks  :)

Absolutely gutted for you mate  :cry:
Don't have any bits (unless you could use some wiper arms FOC) but could offer a bit of free labour, work and imminent new baby permitting  :dontknow:
Can do front suspension competently if that's of any use.
Which boozer did you nudge? Starkies??

I no longer have the Mk1!! I now whizz round in a Black 1990 3dr Mk2 GTi 8v but the roof doesn't fold back when the sun shines :o

Hey Kav. Thanks for the offer of help, it's much appreciated. Pete's been over this afternoon and had a look: suggests I buy a new shell and swap everything over.

Only thing stopping me from doing that is i've nowhere to keep it. Do you know anywhere, that would be pretty cheap, and I can have two cars there and work on them?

It wasn't the Starky, no, it was a pub in Oswaldtwistle.
