Re: VAG CD

["Mike" <lerb@redrose.net>]

Even if there is a Dongle needed I have the crack (or abillity to have it
cracked)

We shall be looking at our own copyies in a few weeks at the most :)

86 16V Rocco
83 Rabbit
82 8V Rocco
And one junker American truck to haul parts.

I need a drivers side black fender and also need stock or cheap lowering
springs for a 16V
Looking for a good shell for parts swap from rotting shell (8v or 16V)
If you have any of these please e-mail me direct.
