So what did you come up with Drew? or is there a thread somewhere of the new beast?
 
I've never had much luck with Gumtree, but it's probably a good idea Drew.
 
My problem is that serious $$$ available are harder to justify ATM than many others are willing to pay, even for an absolute carcus. My dad had a 2 lt 80 model blue rally pack that I learnt to drive in, and I hoped one day to be able recreate one.
 
So if anyone has a MK2 2 lt bomb sitting in the bottom of the garden ripe for someone to learn welding/painting on i'm all ears....
