I have a non-running Mk 1 water-cooled VW Rabbit, too. May restore it someday.
What year is it? I had a '76 (swallowtail). Converted it to 5-spd and drove it until one of the inside brake lines burst from rot. At that point I was done with it.
Fun car though. Even with ~75HP it was spry as they don't weigh much.
