Very. Decent facelift wings (with the wraparound indicators) are hotly contested property. Usually several on eBay.de, but at seller's prices.

Its good to see another Mk1 getting sorted out, I might even see another one on the road one day soon.
Good luck with getting the chassis leg straightened, how did it get bent?

previous owner, not sure what happened but i went to see the car, as was for sale 5 mins from where i live, looked at it test drove it drove fine no crabbing at all, came on the forum must have been another members car at 1 point red5 i think, i read the chassis leg was bent but still bought it anyway,love the car,love driving it dont see many on the roads done the mk1 thing so was time to go for something different and not follow the crowds and do the mk2, so there she is hopefully on her way to be on the roads sorted for the shows next year,
