New Members Say Hi! / Restoration project
My mum's beloved '88 GTI broke down just before lockdown - I'm a 90s kid so she has had the car longer than me! I've agreed to take over and get it back on the road.

We have a great mechanic who has looked after us for 10 years or so, so I'm not going to do the work but do need to source all the parts (just waiting for an up to date list from him).

Helpful tips greatly received... I'm not totally clueless as I own a T2 split screen. However I got it as a very ropey shell and have always prioritised it actually running (rather than restoring to original) as I use it for work! The MK2 is a totally different story though.

I want to use all original parts if I can but also get it finished ASAP - am I totally delusional? It looks like there's quite a few GTIs being broken down for parts which is sad but hopefully helpful(?)
