Post by lilgampla »

I'm looking into restoring a Mk1 but want to personalise it without taking a good mr2 but don't want a rust bucket
Where would be a good place to start

I want to find one that needs work doing to it but not to buy one that's already been restored as it's like taking a brand new car and giving it a full restoration
