[attachmentid=2060]just adding a photo of my new project, a bit of a long termer this one! probably not worth it judging by all the rust but not many 1.5 tipperary reg ones about. not too sure about adding photos, hence only the one so far.

would you think of getting a clean shell and transplanting everything from that one in to it??
if not i've loads of mk1 parts including 2 perfect genuine wings, a complete front same as that and a set of bumbers so give me a shout if you need anything.
best of luck with it what ever you decide to do

Thanks for all the support lads, only getting around to replying now, up the walls with various other things! lots of other projects on the go such as 84 mk1 jetta, soon to be acquired 86 Audi 80TD and a sniff of a 90 jetta TD, its pretty much stripped down now so I'll truly get to see how bad the rust is, I'll put up a photo soon as I can, floor pans appear sound but rust in the A pillars is nasty, still after a couple of years welding who knows! and if not patch it up slam it and hoodride it, now its 30 mr NCT can't get his mitts on it!
Best of luck with her. Have a look at

mine was pretty rusty to. but all can be welded up. Nice solid car now. no rust. Only took me a year.

this project (retirement project at this rate) is very much on the backburner but just said I'd post a few nice rusty images! some other nice rust at the back of the roof and inner front wings, if I win the lotto i'll get cracking straight away, until then at least its tucked up in the dry shed.

You'll certainly have your work "cut out" for you! No pun intended. It does seem very bad, is it worth doing do you think?
the one i got from to trev was better than that and i broke i for parts.
unless there is something important to you about that particular shell i'd scrap it and look for with a little less rust.
i've do want to stick through that one i would have most of the bit that would fix it up. scuttle panel etc.

Its the passenger side of the scuttle or rain tray, just behind the engine bay, whatever they call it!
