Welcome Dan,
Looks OK from your garage piccy. No rust evident on the front wing which is a good start. Looks like you may have bagged a bargain.
Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Some of us are quite friendly.
Cheers,
Bod. (James)

Remove the side skirt triangles too, there is sometimes an unsightly mess behind there which needs to be dealt with asap.

Bargain no matter what condition.
It's be worth at least 4 times that in parts alone... :)

Should be plenty around mate. Many mk1's get broken.
ebay, forums or even aftermarket OEM spec ones will be fine.
