Nice! My old Mk2 project.
I can give you some history if you like.
It's an 88 Driver. Uk Import.
Door cards are GTI (out of my 87 GTI).
I bought it to use as a daily, but on the way home after purchase the oil pressure blew the oil filter in half. LOL
After lots of stuffing around and not finding the problem a 16v went in....But it just sat around, as I wanted to spend money on the GTI .

Repairing the door cards


using wood work glue, paper macheing and clamps to straighten and patch up the holes and water damaged areas.
