    Be nice to see you bring it back to some sort of glory, I'd watch it.

    I'd love a cheap project like this but they're so hard to find. Good luck with it mate 👍

    Seems like a fairly easy project to get it back looking original, and surely worth a lot more than if you sell as is. Would like to see a few more videos on it!

    Would love to see a 'quick' polish and interior clean. Sticking an MOT on it, and getting some of it back to original would be nice too.

    The body looks straight in the video so IMO, provided its not rotten anywhere terrible, id restore it up to the point where you can still make a profit before passing it on.

    Id wait on that decision until uv had a gd look underneath.  I have a mk2 gti 16v and had to spend a fortune on jacking points at the front within a yr or 2.  If gd, id do a sympathetic resto and just give the body a thorough machine polish.  Looks a promising project 🤩
