I still am building the Mk1 and it will be a beauty. I have built 4 or 5 other Mk1s and heaps of other cars during this process and continue to do so.
Perfection takes time. You are hardly a poster child for organisation and quick jobs. Tassie GTIs 16v took a while if I recall and you started with a running car. And you lost a certain clutch cover plate in your garage I heard. Panic not, the Mk1 will be finished and several other cars to boot. The Mk1 is actually going back together OK, I just havent taken recent pictures. Patience. I`m glad you care though.
