Wreck or restore???

[hiho]

The answer is............

RESTORE!

I have a set of doors and guards


which came of this car four years ago





some rust in the body, some rust in the panels.... WHo knows why??

I suspect a bit of repair will be required to the base of the LHS A pillar but nothing else (touch wood)
The door cards have been painted black and will need to be carefully stripped. Also I think the carpet is not original.

wish you where closer, i want a auto

I still reckon try and save it, as others though, check under the carpet

good for you mate. I actually didn't wanna see more mk1 getting wrecked.... they are disappearing one by one!! oh no~

btw did you get the spare dash from the red mk1 as well?

How can I find the knobs and trim panel!

[hiho]

I wish, it was sold years ago. It was perfect.

I would love to start again with a 2-door, plastic dash, bolt through vent windows and piece it together perfectly.

Save it!! They are like pople... all unique

My first mk1 was exactly the same. 4 door in that blue. i love that colour! beautiful vw blue. Unfortunately I wrote it off, but kept a few panels I think. Pretty sure I have the drivers side door in the same blue

save for sure!

apart from the hanging panels, it looks super tidy!

I'd love to buy it and restore it myself, but I've got no where to store it till I'd have time/space to fix it! (Too many other projects atm)

Glad your decided to save it.

Hopefully the front floors and the lower A pillar/sill area is ok rust wise, cause it does looks pretty tidy!

Save! seen worse as long as floor is not rusted out too the guard.

The tribe has spoken - save and restore it is Keep on posting pictures too mate, would be good to see it progress.
