Thanks for all the comments! To answer a few questions, it is fail-o-matic, but I got two 4-speed manual transmissions with it for free, so one of those is definitely going in. And it's not a diesel, it's a 1.6L 4 cylinder. I'd like to do a 16V in it down the road, we'll see what I find for cheap.
As far as suspension goes, I will putting it down pretty damn low, and I'll be doing coilovers. One of the great things about this car is that just about everything for it is going to be dirt cheap, including the coilovers I'm putting on it.
That's correct that it didn't have a windshield in it, but I did get it, and we don't think it was sitting out there without it for too long, because the interior isn't really that weather-beaten, and the dash is almost perfect. And for those that know anything about MkI's, the headliner is also nearly perfect. Wiring under the dash is a mess, but Andy will take care of that, and I did get a whole new fuse panel with it, too.
I started to polish out the paint by hand last night in a few spots just for shits and gigs, just using Griot's polish and a hand pad, I'll let the pics speak:
And hell yes I'm keeping it this color! It's almost henna! :D
