'85 Scirocco

["Lisa & Rick" <hugacub@whidbey.net>]

Hello......

   my name is Lisa and I am the FAQ-finding half of Lisa and 
Rick...hehehe.  He's the one with the engine shutdown prob on his 
Scirocco.  He's an ex-mechanic, turned computer geek...and is more 
into the tech side of this particular car.  I, however, am looking 
for info as to the asthetics of this car.  Wishing to restore this 
vehicle to almost new condition...I'll let him handle the mechanical 
side....and I'll generally address the group as to the cosmetics...is 
this okay, guys?
   My question(s) is this.......this car's front seats...mostly the 
driver's....are just about threadbare....seat covers will do for the 
short-term, but are there any suggestions for recovering them...or 
just flat-out replacing them?  I thought perhaps the junkyard 
route...but this is a Wolfsburg Edition...so that narrows done the 
junkyard option a bit...doesn't it?
   Also....previous to our acquiring it, it had a slight altercation 
with an unknown car ahead of it, resulting in the cosmetic portion of 
the front bumper falling off.  The actual metal bumper is undamaged, 
just the ABS plastic bumper is detached.  Any suggestions for 
re-attaching it?  Is this possible?  Or is it necessary to replace 
the whole bumper?
   Beyond that....there are no major dents...a few little 
dings....nothing a good bodyguy and paintjob can't cure.  Any 
suggestions for re-blacking the rear spoiler?
   Engine shutdown problem aside....the car's in pretty good shape.  
90% of the time it runs great.  It's not mint....but it will be if I 
have any sayso..haha.  Now guess what my sweetie paid for this little 
gem in the rough?  $350.00.  It's kinda soundin' better all the time, 
eh?
   BTW...I love this car too!

Thanks for listening.........
Lisa
