RE:  R&R ing 16V antenna lead.  

Yes you can totally remove the old wire, but often there is nothing 
wrong with the cable.  I terminated my old one with a FUBA supplied 
splice to use a newer replacement base.  Then you don't fool with the 
reamainder of the cable run.  Dunno about the Hirschman, though.  If its 
fender mount, I'd leave the old roof run in place.

RE:  Swapping 82 8V struts for 16V.  IMO, the 16V had stiffer front 
springs, so you might loose that (unless you've got uprated front springs 
on the 8V struts).  And, dunno if its bible truth, but GTi and 16V strut 
housings had lower spring perch mounting (found out the hard way).  Then 
again, measure or try out.  Its not tough.
