no, theres just not many parts around.

Matt at camdent gti may have some bits as far as body trim parts go. otherwise overseas shopping is your best bet (there are other people locally I'm sure I just cant think of any).

As for wheels and springs, well you need only search around the forums a bit and you'll answer your own questions.

My question is this - if you have a completely stock as the day it was bought '85 cabrio, why change it at all? It's probably worth more right now if its in good condition that after you modify it. I guess if its pretty run down then you might aswell have your way with it, as i did with mine.

show us a pic!

Wheel, just keep eye open for forum member selling any 4x100, you have to be in patience though.
Spring/suspension, my best advice would be avoid cheap coilover, either a good cup kit or Weitec GTN is the best choice IMO
Just post in WTB section for any body parts that you want, I'm sure many people are willing to help.

how do you add images as they ask for a URL?

easy way is to host pictures on some 3rd party website like photobucket or the google one (picasa??) and they will give you a link to post the pic.
