Welcome to the GTi club rustypolo! Only thing I can think of to look out for is the condition of the cambelt. I know its on a low mileage (recommended change for cambelt in the handbook is 60,000 miles) but given the age of the car its worth checking the condition, just in case!

Sounds like youhave found a great example, good luck with it! Looking forward to pics... do you have any plans for her? :)

Cheers
