Welcome bud. Guy called Jimi in Glenrothes with the nicest mk1 you have ever seen haha, master at all things electrical. Fimmo as well in Kirkcaldy!
Re: Newbie from scotland (pics now up)
WTTC!
I think your're well enough placed if you're from the Kingdom / Central belt. There seems to be plenty MK1's and 2's around there.
Post up some pics when you can. If you only got it for £500 then that's allot of car for the money if it's only the HG gone, Make sure you get it all checked and do everything as a precaution, not like it cost you much so far anyway.
All the best,
Rich

Always wanted one but doubt it due to running costs, more eager just to get back in a 2 though, NA or Turbo!!
Take it your project is gonna be over the long term?
Can't wait to see pics!
Cheers.
