Happy day! (free car)



	Well I'm posting this to make Andre jealous, but I just picked up a 1980
Scirocco yeasterday for free! It hasn't got an engine/transmission or
anything but it's got a full S model interior and the body is straight with
good paint but some rust. I was lucky that my dad has a van, and I rented
an auto dolly from uhaul (45 bucks) and towed it home.

The windows were open and it was sitting for probably a year. the interior
has seen better days.. Any ideas on cleaning it up?? I can do the
mechanical stuff fine(engine fuel injection), but I'm horrible at body
work(where it's got rust, paint bubbles)  and pretty bad at interior stuff. 
Looks like a big project ahead of me. I dont know if I should make it a
race car, street car, street legal racer or ???  Any suggestiuons are
welcome :)

Another question: Can you install a complete 83/84 GTi CIS injection with
full throttle enrichment on this '80 without the vacuum idle stabilizer
crap? The reason I ask is because I have got my 81 down to 1 vacuum hose
from the vacuum advance to the t-body, and the aux air valve at the back of
the intake. Thats it. I like simplicity :)
