2-door MkIII Golfs are hard to find unless you are in the NE/PA/IL area, seems like. And THEN you really need to check for rust, particularly in the floors behind the front seats. I don't know why but they are really prone to rot there. I don't know how many '94s were built but I think maybe the first couple of years of MkIII production were slow, as I recall...?

I think that if I were doing it again, I'd go with a 4-door simply because chassis are more available (less likely to have to start with a crunchy one) and doors are a dime a dozen for repair purposes. We've got a lot of Bondo in ours (and in the rear quarters) by now.

For sprint racing, I'd be very comfortable with the stock tank. I think that's one of those places we can easily make our cars LESS safe by ignoring what a bunch of professional engineers decided was a good idea.

Where are you located, STBITBG? Someone here will likely be able to point you at a good cage builder.
