Re: Restoring poor old 84' lots of questions.

I have an 84 Scirocco, silver - you can check out pix
from all angles on my website
http://student.fortlewis.edu/~mwmages/

The car isn't perfect, but it does have the original
paint, and mostly original parts 'cept for the seats,
suspension, wheels, etc. ;)

rewiring grounds & stuff isnt too difficult - I have a
pic of some gold-plated battery terminals (outdated
pic - I have both big ones now) and some half-assed
pix of the new ground wires.
