A bargain indeed, good luck with it!

I think at that money mate for a MK1 you can't loose. Get it home and give it a good once over and come back and stick some pics up for us nosey members  

Best of luck mate.  

you re right Smudger you cant loose … although i know my piece of mind will be gone when the missus sees it in the drive

cheers

Don't let the misses run those household   

When is it getting to you? 

hopefully by Wednesday Brad
need to sort the transport out…something i dint think it might cost money  

Good luck! A blank canvas!

My Mrs tries to control my Mk1 spending a bit She gets "words of advice" whenever the topic arises.

Good luck getting it to you matey.

If my lady knew the half of it, she'd have left a long time ago! 

What's the engine plans? 

i ll try to keep it as original as possible Nick….my dad s friend back in Greece use to have a 1.5 back in the 90s and as far as i remember it wasnt that bad !! maybe the long term plan will be to do a manual conversion so you think my Mrs will run away if i tell her everything ??? sounds like a good plan

Good plan..

Hahah! Yeah, maybe I'm doing it wrong. 
Think I'd prefer a dirty secret than the wrath of 'er in doors. 

I'd put a manual gti in while its off road if it was me

wish i could afford it mate   it is not only getting everything needed but i have no space and of course no extra money to take it to a garage

Welcome to the forum Gus

I was watching your car on Ebay thought it would have gone for more

Good luck with the project will be good to watch your progress.

thanks Robbo

yes i was hoping to get some more money but what can you do

well.. the car seems to be a bit of a mess… especially the electrics !!! i was hoping there is a good electric manual as the one i had for my MGB cuz the haynes wiring diagrams is a bit of a pain to understand but i ll get there i hope !!! the engine turns so this is something

cheers
