Is it save-able?

The car has been partially stripped but the basics are all there and what is not is available elsewhere. the steering lock is damaged as is the tailgate lock. The dashboard and clocks were missing but I have sourced the correct ones and they will be with the car, headlining is missing but I have one that could be restored and the material is available. the engine and gearbox are present and the numbers match the V5. I have the V5 in my name and its currently SORN. Delivery can be arranged at your expence, would make an ideal full retto project.

My plan was to install the running gear from an S3 I also have but i need to concentrate on my 16v rebuild, and also the S3 is too good to strip:

Im looking for £3000 for the S3 and around £1500 for the Mk2.

If you interested probably best to call me or text

Fine, the grill and wing mirrors have been removed since the photo was taken as well.

The S3 looks tidy. What is it like rust-wise? Just had a look at the MOT history and couldnt see anything scary!

Is that Helios Blue? If it is and the chap above doesn't fancy it I'd be interested if in rust free (or as close as poss!) the wings, tailgate, bonnet, GTI grille and glovebox... possibly the front seats as well but need to research if I can strip them and apply fabric etc to my 3 door versions.

Phil is sending me some photos in the new year, I'm hoping I can save this one
