Many thanks for all the answers guys! Much appreciated. I'm no stranger to working on older cars and have worked on my friends MK2 Scirocco which I believe is basically the same engine?

Welcome.

It could be used as a daily. Only problem you'll have is that when repairs are needed, parts may take longer to source. Most parts are available, just not off the shelf.

I do about 9k a year in my 90q 20v. Don't use it every day but it gets used regularly. I have another car so I can lay the 90 up for a few days if needed.
When you say that most parts available but not off the shelf, does this mean that the parts are mostly going to be pre-owned/second hand?

I've had a look online for some parts and I've been able to find most of the exterior light casings and amazingly the black side trim and bumpers new, but I can't seem to track quite vital bits like throttle cables, and clutch cables etc are these only available second hand now?
