Good Lord!
You're still about on the mk2 scene then Danny?

That certainly looks like your best one so far. Keep it nice and it'll only go up in value. Looks in real good nick.
How are the sills?

Sod that.
Re-shell will be cheaper. Should still be able to get a decent base-model mk2 for a lot less than Ł800.

Bummer about the rust behind the kit.

I sooooo want me one of these. I learnt to drive in a Mk2 Fez Popular Plus - 1.1 and 4 speed glory! I've got a 1.6 CVH lump and 2 heads just laying around dying for a rebuild and fitting into something that deserves it!
