Shame, really. > It's rare rather than 'nice'; definitely a project; you can see through the front axle as well as the usual inner wings (wheel wells), bumper mounts, front panel, air-box, lower seat belt mounts, front wings (fenders), and maybe sill (rocker), but it's only done about 68,000 miles and had a new gearbox under VW good-will guarantee about 25,000 miles ago, I think. It's been resprayed a poor match to the original Alaska blue met, but that's kept it protected a bit better than without extra paint. Floor's fine though! Oh, and the reg is "MUM", but Anne has got a Jetta now, so some of the point of buying it for restoration has been lost! Dave.
