Ok so a bit of an update
The car had a few places of rust and a couple of things i wasn't happy with so ive decided to strip it and respray it the only catch is the 1st show is now 17 weeks away!
Heres the process to date
The god aweful aero style fuel cap had to go 1 it didn't fit well and 2 its just not in keeping with the retro feel pics of the bad fitting cap and fuel pipe


so out it was all stripped new filler neck has been bought

Then i attacked the lower rear panel as the corners were suffering from the good old rust


new corner section welded in

then the cut out for the exhaust was filled in as it has a down swept tail pipe

stripped the sill back to bare metal and all is good

next up is the drivers side front wing, its a aftermarket part non genuine and i hate the fit the profile is all wrong so ive bought a new genuine vw wing



also the non genuine wing is missing the little reinforcing tabs -

the genuine wing -
