it is a genuine valver, its even a phase 1 (well 1.5) but all I want from it is the leathers and to make some cash. however as said the shell is spoken for already to be used by a mate of mine :)
not strictly true. I have two 'breakers' in that I don't want or need this summer. however its sort of going the other way now as even though both shells are ratty and need work. they are both sold to be used for other projects!
so in some ways its a good thing, they'll get a new lease of life :)

Crap update, but loads of progress
I failed to take any pictures at all but basically I got all the parts from the front end back from the powdercoaters and fitted the lot
I also fitted my new front wings and rebuilt the rest of the bodywork up front.
So the car...
button is fine and light flashes as it should
most annoyingly is it all worked fine in the phase 1, transferred all the wiring into the mk1 and now it doesn't work.
lol, saw Jacob other week in the 225, weird how he went from phase 1 to 225 and you went back the other way.
I think he made wrong choice and you've made the right one ;)
I always plug for 100k plus cars for the same reasoning, they've probably had more maintenance and been looked after as they are doing regular mileage.
it doesn't always hold true, but essentially miles don't matter imo
yes mate, all you need to do is perhaps extend or shorten a few wires if you want it fitting mint and obviously chop light plugs etc to rewire for mk1 lights (also wipers and blowers etc if you keep the mk1 stuff)
182 with climate etc may be a little trickier though, so all depends what you...
Likely to be the phase 1 UCH thing? I know its not UCH but its basically same thing as the later models aint it?
key starts car, button in car locks/unlocks doors fine.
tried the re-sync procedure, get it to light constantly on but the car then doesn't read the key when I press the button on...

Progress this weekend after doing sweet F/A for a few weeks due to holiday and general laziness!
I fitted the rest of the earths to the chassis from the looms and plugged in the clocks etc. then strapped on a battery and boom she fired :)
engine sounds...
