lol,yeh the steering is a bit heavy especialy with the wider standard bbs i had on mine,and i really do belive u about the condition some of them just dont seem to rust but i have had some what do,usually its the lower front panel,rear panel,bottoms of the doors and jacking points,not forgetting the panel under the windscreen which is usual on most now,also i have had loads of mk2s but only 1 with heaters that work,lmao,i like the way u aint gonna spoil it either its a shame to change the appearance after its been like that for soo many years,although i would love it to look as it does now but
