The rust on his hood is awful looking, but as he explained, very common on all 75 VW's because of that foam **** they put in there that collects and retains moisture. Not a real big deal or expense to rectify.
In any case, his car was about as nice as you're gonna find today in original condition, and for people that like these cars or grew up with them, 5-6 grand is not a lot to spend even if it needs some love. *deleted comment, was a little riled up earlier*  |
Thanks Flug,
Nice to see someone who knows what they're talking about as well. Car was sold long ago to another mk1 enthusiast who swapped a new hood on. Luckily it wasn't a Rabbit or it would've been a smoothie hood and a bit of a pain to find a replacement!
