St Christopher, patron saint of travelers (and motorists), used to be a fairly common little thing added to cars into the 70s when such superstitions started to drop off. Perhaps a more fitting emblem now would be Saint Cajetan, the patron saint of gamblers and the unemployed  Good luck with your new adventure! At least you're going to have no real problems with parts and support since both are seemingly plentiful for these now. |

Nice! Glad it's not just me that whimsically buys mk1's from miles away... Hope this isn't as much of a rusty turd as mine! Good luck with it.

Sorry about the job but what a find! Will it have holy water for coolant?

Removing factory underseal is only really necessary where there's obvious problems *but* if you're bothering to repair rotted out bits of roof, it's worth doing everything really. I'm not sure what underseal VW were using in the 80s but it's really good stuff for keeping the rot at bay except for anywhere it's broken and then it's really good stuff for keep the rot in place and allowing it to steadily creep unseen.

It’s a VW, it’s bound to have some rot. They say about MK2s, if you have a rust-free one then you haven’t looked hard enough!

PART 2 : ELECTRIC BOOGALOOHeres the guide I used, not sure if it is an exact match to all CE1's but it was close enough to mine that I was able to accurately label accordingly. www.a2resource.com/electrical/CE1.html Thanks for this... This will be very handy when it comes to getting mine back together. The previous owner had bastardised most of the loom on mine |
