Nice tidy car there, did you do the resto?
I like Mk1 Cabs alot, I had a 1990 GTI Cab and love it:D
I bought her as is she has many electrical issues common of the model found her on ebay paid £620 for her and drove her some 350 miles back to my home in county durham. She is a lovely little car and runs fantastic but i have minor issues and shes defo got a personality of her own!! Handles like a Go-kart lol
It you've got electrical issues start with the earth strap, there is one from the car to the engine, then one from the top gearbox bolt to the battery, renown for going high resistance, give the bolt a good clean ;)
I have issues with my horn, Slow wipers, everything is very dim really!! LOL
Sounds like you have a bad earth, but the wipers are slow normally, sometimes re-greasing the mechanism can help. the lights are dim due to having very long feed cables, i rewired mine with relays which helps allot.
