Nice, she looks lovely! Would love to get my hands on a mk1 at some point. Feels like I'm trying to keep an oldie alive with my '92 cooper so you've got something well worth bringing back to former glory there

This will be an intersesting one to follow, I don't envy the amount of work you have there.

Think you may be needing a new exhaust though !!

Best of luck

Not a bad looking project. Are you going to convert it to dry or keep it on hydrolastic?

By the way, if you want to date your glass, click on the link below, as it is possible to date it to a specific month depending on the manufacturer.
