Re: SCIROCCO SURVEY for everyone

["Kris Rayner" <veritech@fix.net>]

It was about April or May of '96.  Well, I'll admit it but the car I 
really wanted was a white '84 GTI.  But alas my '81 pulled up next 
to my dad's shop while I was working after school.  My main plan 
was to get it decent and then sell it and find the GTI I wanted.  The 
paint was really oxidized, plus at the time I thought the lines of the 
car awkward.  It was a first car  that I paid, well paid $300 and 
worked off the rest, $800 for.  The thing that caught my attention 
though was that there was no rust and no body work needed.  After 
spending about an hour and 6 rags later, the hood polished up 
nicely so I just continued. The paint was so baldy oxidized I 
thought the car was red.  After waxing it, it became apparant that it 
was in fact a reddish orange.  Well after seeing how well it cleaned 
up, plus the fact that my brother gave me his '78 'rocco that I used 
for parts, I began to like the car, espcially after I lowered it with 
suspension and alloy wheels on it from my dad's now departed 
race rabbit.  Now, for me to get rid of my '81 it would have to be a 
really nice white '84 GTI. ;)
