That is either a long and expensive (money and time) project or a load of scrap. Good luck with it and would be a shame to let it go.

Quite an involved project there! Do think a mk2 is always worth saving though so well done there.

TBH for those parts I reckon you need to go to a rally specialist/fabricator for them really, not worth trying to get poor quality parts on a car that going to be hammered!
