That's almost a perfect first car. Fun, cheap, somewhat reliable, good on gas, not too fast, etc. It'll also teach your son not to be a bitch and fix his own car. He's going to have to learn eventually..what better way to do it. It amazes me how little people know about their own cars today.

We put a oil pan gasket on it. The gasket was so dried out the pan fell off when we removed al the bolts. Got to do the valve cover and timing belt. Also installed some new rear struts.It was like a small Uncle Buck car.My son putting the wheel back on(jack stands under the car).

Looks sweet! I'd love a MK1 as my first car!
If you need a grill try finding one used on Vortex. If you can't check BlackForestIndustries They carry grills

Just a couple. Only 175,000. Some one took care of it because it is a PA car with very little rust.
