Cabriolet questions..

[Mark Mages <wasserbox@yahoo.com>]

OK - so it aint about a rocco...
You guys are the ones who seem to know the shit, and I
don't know of a cabby list (cough-thank god)

Here are my q's
I'm looking at an 88 cabby to rebuild over this
weekend.  Front end damage - hit a deer, and says he
has all the parts to fix it.
anyways, what engine did the 88's use?  were they
still 1.8 or had they started using 2.0L by then?
How comparable are the cabbies to regular golfs as far
as parts cost & integration, etc. (other than the top)
Are the A2's a lot more expensive to keep up than A1?

What are the worst parts to repair on front end
damage?  Let;s say it still runs & the radiator
doesn't leak... if the cross-brace is bent how hard is
it to fix?  If the bumpers are pushed back in the
mounts how much to re-align?

Any good advice?

Thanks
Oh - and by the way - it's not for me, it's for my g/f
- I gotta get her out of that nissan (even if it is a
16v 2.0 :) and out from under the payments...
