How about more track days?
That way you'll start breaking things and you can do more upgrades!

Hello,

Yes they are different.
Depending on how rotten they are, they can be repaired by drying them thoroughly and repairing with fibreglass.
Once sturdy again, you can look to clean and re-glue the material.

Without any personal experience it sounds like water getting on the fuse box. This is a common fault.

Agreed, take the bottom dash panel off and see if there is any water up under the fuse box.

While it seems like a daunting task, fuse boxes are cheap and it's not too bad a job.

I'd also be checking the drains in your scuttle panel, make sure water can get away freely.

I Iain, welcome along.

A few years back I restored an 8v from the ground up and can definitely recommend Autodoc for parts.
They have a wide range of parts for nearly all mk2s.
You just have to allow for a week or two on delivery as it all comes from Germany.

There are a couple of very good breakers kicking about, Mk2 Spares is a favourite on here.
You can also still get a whole host of parts for them now, a few years ago I completely restored an 8v gti and managed to source nearly everything on Autodoc, they still sell oem parts from Bosch/Valeo etc.
