Thanks Dom

Maybe even cheaper if you used golf bits?
Then it's be a Gonto. Sweet!

When I bought my Mk3 it was in similar condition to that Vento. I didnt so much find cost in panles as I sourced second hand stuff and items from the forum. The real cost invloved will be having the car re-allinged etc. I was very lucky in that my olman is very good mates with a panel shop.

But dont get me wrong its a load of fun taking a trash can and spending the hours making it look new again which I have hopefully acheived.

That car is not much of a hit. I reckon $1000 on parts and some paint.
I`d use a Golf front too.

Would love it, but have no way of getting it home, and until mines running 100% i dont need more problems... how would the engine and gear box be? are the 1.6 autos in mk3s bad/good/ok? got a few km...
