Are you planning on painting the cage or leaving it white?

Will you be mounting the harnesses off of the horizontal bar between your rear struts? (or is that just how the photo makes them look?)

Do you need a caring owner for the mk1?

If it runs, I can give it the odd workout for you

the harnesses are currently mounted using eylets from rear belt holes in the floor as they were last year, im thinking of using the cage/harness bar but there seems to be pros and cons ,

the mk1 does run when you put a battery on it , the whole brake system needs bleeding though and coilovers need setting up , apart from that good to go with the gti 8v engine

if i can find time for the ol gal and give her a little love i'd like her to have a trip to cadwell
oh yes there is also no handbrake due to some tit drilling the cable when fitting an eyelet for the harness

i just wish i had a nice unit and time for her i have everything now bar a set of carbs
